she/her
Kayla Jones has seen homelessness on the Streets of Downtown, Portland from the age of 5, as she too was homeless with her family, temporarily living in the Salvation Army. One of her favorite memories growing up was – having a holiday meal with all of the other unhoused folks at the shelter during that time and mentions "It was full of togetherness" as everyone sat silently side by side eating their food and drinking their drink– in gratitude.
Kayla is now Street Roots' Operations Director, first starting as an Administrative Assistant in September 2018.
