Centering People. Strengthening Systems. Expanding Housing Access.

Strategic support to help communities reduce barriers and create lasting housing solutions.

Housing Systems Consultant | Lizzie Goddard

I am a housing systems consultant who partners with communities to design and implement people-centered solutions that expand access to safe, stable housing for our neighbors who need it most. With deep expertise in centralized property engagement, housing navigation, and cross-sector coordination, I bring a strategic, hands-on approach to strengthening systems. My work is driven by a commitment to housing justice, collaboration, and practical impact—supporting communities to build systems that reflect their values while creating lasting change.
