Jackeline Loyola-Becerra, Director
Jackeline Loyola-Becerra is the director of the Prospect Family Support Center. Before coming to PFSC, she was the social services coordinator for a Head Start program in Brooklyn. Beginning in 2005, she worked with children suffering from emotional, behavioral, and mental-health issues. Jackeline has also worked in a single women's homeless shelter, starting as a case manager. That experience gave her a new perspective on helping others and made her realize that she wanted to pursue a career in social services. At the shelter, she provided immediate crisis intervention and conducted research on substance abuse to give direct personal support to clients with needs arising from mental-health issues, substance abuse, and domestic violence. After two years, she was promoted to supervisor and became responsible for the daily operations of a 200-plus-bed shelter. Jackeline graduated with a bilingual education degree.
