OPAL is pleased to welcome Lily Goldberg as our new Associate Homeownership Director. Lily joined the team in January and brings extensive experience in affordable housing and community development. She lives on San Juan Island and previously served as Director of Housing at the San Juan Community Home Trust.
Originally from Philadelphia, Lily earned her degree in Urban Studies & Community Development from Temple University and has worked with affordable housing nonprofits throughout her career. In 2015, she biked 4,200 miles across the country, stopping to volunteer on affordable housing construction sites—an experience that reflects her deep commitment to housing access.
This new position is part of OPAL’s succession planning as longtime staff, including Housing Director Julie Brunner (24 years), anticipate retirement beginning in 2028 and later, Lily’s early addition to the team ensures thoughtful transition, continuity, and strong leadership for OPAL’s homeownership program well into the future.
