Union Station Homeless Services

Union Station Homeless Services in the San Gabriel Valley is a comprehensive social service agency assisting homeless and very low-income people to rebuild their lives. Clients are offered the housing, employment and life skills they need to become productive, stable and self sufficient. Approximately 2,000 people annually receive assistance through one of the following Union Station programs: Passageways, a one-stop intake center that serves as the entry-point to Pasadena’s homeless services network; Adult Center, a 56-bed adult shelter for men and women, and the site for the Community Meals and Shower Programs; Family Center, a 50-bed shelter for homeless families; Euclid Villa, a 14-unit transitional housing program for families; Sources, a career development and job search assistance program; and Centennial Place, a 144-unit single room occupancy building providing permanent supportive housing for low-income adults. A two-year grant is supporting the Family Center, a home-like environment that offers shelter, meals and supportive services to help families permanently escape homelessness. Last year, 90% of families exiting the Family Center moved to stable housing, including rental units, long-term transitional housing and permanent supportive housing.
