Director of Programs & Compliance
She / Her

Lisa has worked in the local Continuum of Care for over 20 years and joined Threshold CoC in 2015. Lisa’s dedication to social justice, especially housing justice, is what fuels her passion to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring for all of our neighbors. She believes that housing is a basic human right and that every individual deserves a safe, affordable place to call home, and to always be treated with dignity and respect. When Lisa’s not working you will usually find her cheering loudly at her children’s sporting events, romping around with her 4-legged children, or relaxing with her husband.
