Raven moved to Portland in December of 2019 going to work with Street Roots, in March developing and running their coronavirus action team. After writing the camp proposal with Kaia Sand, she joined the C3PO coalition becoming the medical program coordinator. Recently stepping down as the coordinator to return to Street Roots to become the Ambassador Program Manager.

Raven spends most of her free time writing and planning new ways to advocate for those living out on the streets. As someone who lived through Houselessness herself, she holds a passion for this work.
