Introducing Ramina Davidson, DCAYA's new Senior Policy Analyst

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Ramina Davidson to the DCAYA team.


As a Senior Policy Analyst, Ms. Davidson works to support the development of policy, advocacy, and budgetary recommendations on Expanded Learning and Youth Homelessness through high quality research and analysis.

Prior to joining DCAYA, Ms. Davidson worked at HIPS, a D.C. non-profit, to build and implement the a housing navigation program to serve individuals impacted by sexual exchange and drug use, individuals identifying as LGBTQ, and people living with HIV.
“It’s clear that a lot of LGBT youth have experienced a lot of trauma either in their families or on the street,” Davidson said during a panel discussion... (Coleman, Justine. "New Plan for D.C Homeless Youth." Street Sense, 1 June 2017.)
While at HIPS, she also worked to address the gap between DC organizations providing services for youth and adults experiencing homelessness and housing instability.
She holds a juris doctor from Georgetown and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from UCLA.

We are thrilled to have her on board and invite you to join us in welcoming her to the DCAYA family!
