Summary
Brian Goggin is a seasoned urbanist and affordable housing developer with a decade of experience advancing subsidized housing projects and pro-housing policy in the Washington, DC region. As Policy & Project Manager at True Ground Housing Partners, he blends hands-on real estate development—underwriting, entitlements, financing, and construction management—with direct advocacy to local and state policymakers. He previously managed financing and project work at Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing and built public-facing planning tools at the San Francisco Planning Department, demonstrating a rare mix of technical data work and on-the-ground delivery. A UC Berkeley Master of City Planning alum and Commonwealth Housing Coalition member, he writes regularly on housing policy and has researched permitting delays and reform opportunities. Colleagues know him for translating complex policy debates into practical project milestones and for leveraging both quantitative tools and storytelling to win support for dense, infill development. He combines public-sector experience, rigorous research background, and practitioner credibility to push zoning and financing reforms that unlock more affordable homes.
