🏅This month we would like to highlight a longtime volunteer and former USHS employee :: drum roll please 🥁:: Katie! 🎉
Since 2022, Katie has been using art 🎨 to support the well-being of residents by creating spaces that foster imagination, focus, and self-expression.
During her sessions, they engage both creatively and critically, connecting through conversation and shared experiences.
Over time, they have formed meaningful bonds, and she values being part of her local community.

Julio Guevara has spent much of his life in survival mode.
He grew up in gang culture in the San Gabriel Valley and entered prison for the first time at 19. Over the years, incarceration became a pattern: four prison terms, with a fifth looming.
But as he faced the possibility of returning to prison again, something inside him shifted.
As Julio progressed through treatment, another challenge emerged: housing. His time in recovery housing was running out, and returning to his old environment could undo everything he was building.
Through a referral, Julio connected with Union Station Homeless Services and moved into interim housing at Casa Luna in El Sereno.
For the first time, he had a place that was his — not a motel room, not a couch, not a cell.
