ASHLEY WHIPPLE

Ashley Whipple was born and raised in Sacramento, California. She moved to Seattle 3 years ago to complete a degree in Criminal Justice at Washington State University. She currently works as a Residential Youth Counselor at Pioneer Human Services in Seattle, Washington. Her professional role is centered around keeping Seattle’s at-risk youth safe, off the streets, and out of the criminal justice systems. In her short time spent living in Seattle, Ashley has had a heightened awareness of the homelessness crisis that plague our communities. She is dedicated not only to providing aid to our youth who struggle with displacement, but also working with men, women, and families in transitioning them off the streets and into stable housing. She believes that everyone is entitled to proper housing and is an essential component to effectively addressing the homelessness crisis.
