Alison Hurst founded Safe Place for Youth as the Westside’s first dedicated service provider for homeless youth and, after 10 years of exceptional growth, has decided it is time to move on.
When Hurst began her work SPY was nothing more than a group of volunteers handing out bags of food and clothes to homeless youth in Venice Beach.
A decade later it has expanded into an organization with over 80 employees providing housing, case management, street outreach, health and wellness support, and education and employment programs to over 1,500 youths a year.
