Michael lost his art studio that he was living in during the pandemic, and suddenly became homeless. Feeling hopeless and without support, he ended up on the streets for an exhausting three years, sleeping in parks and at gas stations in West Hollywood.
Street outreach services eventually connected Michael to our dedicated WeHo General Case Manager, Joseph, and the two began working closely together to rebuild his life.
Michael stayed in our interim shelter for two months and took advantage of many of the services Ascencia has to offer, including trauma therapy sessions, occupational therapy, and benefits advocacy.
With Joseph's support, Michael found a permanent place to live, and is excited to focus on his future. He shared, "Thank you Joseph for supporting me every day and keeping me on track. Ascencia gave me a sense of hope, and now I sleep better at night knowing I'm safe in my own home."
