Transforming communities through centralized housing systems

At Goddard Consulting Co, I partner with organizations and Continuums of Care to develop innovative housing systems that prioritize efficiency, compassion, and measurable impact.

My expertise lies in Centralized Property Engagement, a strategic approach to connecting private housing providers with households transitioning out of homelessness. By designing system-wide initiatives, I help communities build lasting partnerships that expand housing opportunities and enhance service delivery.

Guided by HUD best practices, I support the implementation of collaborative property engagement models that increase housing options for individuals and families utilizing tenant-based rental assistance—ensuring equitable access to stable, quality homes.
