Lizzie has been exploring creative solutions to complex social challenges throughout her career. As the Principal Consultant and Owner of Goddard Consulting, she brings her direct experience of building a Property Engagement Collective in her native Nashville as she coaches Continuums of Care across the country in centralizing their landlord engagement. In her time organizing property engagement efforts in Nashville, she facilitated a 40% increase in housing inventory in her first 6 months, negotiating lowered housing barriers across all participating units.

Lizzie has gathered a diverse set of skills from her international work in Greece where she organized refugee aid in response to the European refugee crisis, as well as supporting the housing needs of newly arrived refugees in the States. She eventually landed in the broader housing response system and has found deep meaning and motivation in her goal of creating a more efficient, compassionate system for those in crisis. She has a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in emergency management and community resilience.

Lizzie believes change moves at the speed of trust and is honored to support communities in deepening their collaboration to reduce duplication and expand access to affordable housing as a systems level.
