LOS ANGELES COUNTY \u2014 Catalina Hinojosa, founder and CEO of the San Pedro Recovery Alliance, has been honored by LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn<\/a> as the Fourth District’s 2026 Woman of the Year.<\/p>\n

Hahn presented the award to Hinojosa during the annual Women of the Year celebration hosted by the Los Angeles County Commission for Women on March 10.<\/p>\n

Each year, members of the Board of Supervisors select a Woman of the Year from their district. Hahn selected Hinojosa in recognition of her inspiring personal journey and her dedication to helping others rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike so many women across Los Angeles County, Catalina faced daunting challenges in her own life,\u201d said Hahn. \u201cAfter the heartbreaking loss of her mom, she struggled and eventually found herself incarcerated. For most of us, that might seem insurmountable\u2014but not for Catalina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hinojosa committed herself to rebuilding her future while in custody. She achieved sobriety, earned her GED, began taking college classes, and found strength through her church community while helping fellow detainees.<\/p>\n

Following her release, Hinojosa continued her transformation with the support of community programs and mentors. Inspired, she dedicated herself to helping others facing similar struggles.<\/p>\n

Now, as founder and CEO of the San Pedro Recovery Alliance<\/a>, Hinojosa leads efforts to support formerly incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and people experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n

Her organization provides connections to transitional housing and re-entry services, as well as access to medical care, employment support, mental health resources, and life skills training.<\/p>\n

While accepting the award, Catalina Hinojosa thanked Hahn and said the recognition \u201creminds me that people really do believe in second chances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award is for everyone who has fallen but found the strength to rise again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst all odds, Catalina forged a new path for herself and altered her own destiny,\u201d Hahn continued. \u201cShe saw the power that compassion and encouragement from others had in her own recovery, and she wanted to pass that on. Catalina is an inspiration, and the work she does every day is changing lives in the Harbor Area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Woman of the Year awards ceremony was held in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
