Alicia Mortensen

Housing Coordinator, Pennsylvania Department of Health Contract

As a member of United Way’s state Health Department contract team, Alicia helps clients find and maintain stable housing.

Her efforts have a distinct and measurable effect for our community members who struggle to achieve financial stability. We believe that by moving the needle on a few especially important social indicators like literacy, food insecurity and housing, we can lift the whole Wyoming Valley.

Alicia joined the team at the recommendation of a friend, and feels grateful every day to work with people in her own community.

“I’m glad I took the leap,” she said.

Outside of work, Alicia spends time with her family. She breaks for the outdoors whenever she can and especially enjoys hiking.
