The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.

Alicia Young, the Founder and Executive Director of Hand at Home LA, has spent more than a decade working alongside families in Los Angeles who are navigating housing insecurity and economic hardship. After witnessing firsthand how difficult it is for parents to access stable support, Alicia created Hand at Home LA to connect families with practical resources, compassionate guidance, and a sense of community. Her work is grounded in the belief that a city is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable residents, and she is committed to making sure every family in LA feels seen, supported, and empowered.
