Mission

Union Station Homeless Services' mission is to help adults and families rebuild their lives and end homelessness. Homelessness can affect anyone – no one is impervious to it. Lack of housing, stagnant wages, skyrocketing rents and lack of opportunity or safety nets for people who are sick, disabled or trapped in the cycle of poverty have all contributed to our current homeless crisis. For more than 45 years, Union Station Homeless Services has helped adults and families facing hunger, homelessness, and poverty in our community. Everyday, our staff has the privilege of working with people on a journey – people who trust us enough to let us into their lives so that we can provide the outreach, shelter, housing, and employment services they need for a better life.

About

INTAKE AND SHELTER: THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM (CES) FOR ADULTS AND FAMILIES IS AN LA COUNTY-WIDE EFFORT TO COORDINATE RESOURCES IN ORDER TO HELP CHRONICALLY HOMELESS ADULTS, FAMILIES AND VETERANS FIND PERMANENT HOUSING. AS THE DESIGNATED LEAD AGENCY FOR CES IN SERVICE PLANNING AREA 3 (SPA 3), USHS COORDINATES THE EFFORTS OF MORE THAN 60 AGENCIES TO SUPPORT A STREAMLINED OUTREACH AND INTAKE PROCESS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, FROM PASADENA TO POMONA. TOGETHER, WE ARE WORKING TO HELP END HOMELESSNESS IN OUR REGION. OUTREACH TEAMS LOCATE, IDENTIFY AND SCREEN PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THROUGHOUT THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY, AND RAPIDLY MATCH THEM TO SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. OUR PARTNERS COLLABORATE BY PROVIDING INTAKE AND ASSESSMENTS, HOUSING PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE, AND A VARIETY OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CARE COORDINATION, HEALTH CARE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE, SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT, EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, LEGAL AID, BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE, AND MORE. NEARLY 1,900 INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WERE SERVED THROUGH CES IN 2017-2018. USHS PROVIDES SAFE SHORT-TERM SHELTER FOR ADULTS AND FAMILIES. CARE COORDINATORS MEET AT LEAST WEEKLY WITH EACH SHELTER RESIDENT TO SUPPORT THEIR MOVE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, WITHIN A GOAL TIME PERIOD OF 90 DAYS. WE ALSO PROVIDE MEALS, SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, SUBSTANCE USE RECOVERY SERVICES, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS LINKAGES TO HEALTH CARE AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE. OUR SHELTERS, WHICH SERVE AS A VITAL BRIDGE FROM HOMELESSNESS TO HOUSING, INCLUDE: THE FAMILY CENTER, A NURTURING, HOME-LIKE ENVIRONMENT WITH 50 BEDS THAT OFFERS SANCTUARY FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 HOMELESS CHILDREN AND PARENTS EACH YEAR; AND THE ADULT CENTER, OUR OLDEST EXISTING FACILITY BUILT IN 1989, WHICH HAS 56-BEDS AND SEPARATE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S DORMITORIES. WE ALSO SUPPORT FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF CRISIS HOUSING WITH MOTEL VOUCHERS. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST AGENCIES IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO TARGET AND SHELTER HIGH-RISK HOMELESS ADULTS WITH MOTEL VOUCHERS, WHICH IS NOW A WIDELY IMPLEMENTED BEST PRACTICE.
