Lisa Addy-Peat | Founder

​Lisa, Founder of The Taylor House, retired from Washington Mutual Bank in 2004, where she worked as a Senior Account Executive in The San Francisco Bay area for 10 years. Upon retiring, Lisa returned to Placer County where she built a home and enjoys spending time with her grown daughter, animals and practicing yoga.  

In 2007 after years of volunteering at several, local, non-profit organizations such as the Sacramento Aids Foundation, Meals on Wheels and Gold Country Wildlife, Lisa joined the CASA organization and became a court appointed Special Advocate in Placer County. Out of her passion for advocating for teen girls in foster care,  Lisa realized that there was a housing need for emancipating foster youth and out of that passion the Taylor House vision came to life.

In 2011 Lisa bought a run down 6 bedroom 2 bath home in downtown Roseville for the purpose of allowing former foster girls to come live in a safe environment where they can learn, live, grow, make mistakes and launch into their true independence.  Lisa's vision is to allow the girls to get a first hand experience of the "Real World"  learning valuable life skills, such as job and College paths, what it means to pay timely rent and being a productive  part of their community.  ​
