LSSSC Updates
LSSSC Awarded a Double Dose of Support
Lutheran Social Services of Southern California, a nonprofit provider of emergency services, social services, transitional services, and housing counseling to the underserved communities across Southern California since 1946, announced today that it has been awarded a double-dose of vital and essential support for two of its programs.
Knowledge is a Key to Freedom
Sheyla Rodriguez will enter Yale University this fall. She has a bright future, but it took a long journey for her to arrive at this point. She and her family left Cuba when she was eleven and within days stood at the border between Mexico and the United States. They left a repressive dictatorship to live in a nation where freedom and opportunity are available to all people. She is now a permanent U.S. resident and is graduating from Chula Vista High School in California with a 4.6 grade point average.
Peer Support Specialist Training
LSSSC is engaged in a very important project – the training and support of individuals who wish to become Peer Support Specialists (PSS). This project is being funded by a grant from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAi) administrating the Workforce Education and Training (WET) Grant Program, a component of the State’s MHSA.
