Our ALA team had the opportunity to visit with City of Hawthorne Homeless Services staff and introduce ALA's Home Share program. During our visit, we learned about the incredible work being done to serve Hawthorne's most vulnerable residents. A special shout-out to case coordinator Lisa Gonzalez for inviting us, and to program manager Dulce Medina for giving us a tour of the Hawthorne Senior Center. It is deeply inspiring to see the effort and care offered by those on the frontlines of the homelessness crisis, and our goal is for the Home Share program to be a part of the solution.
