ABOUT US

Goal #1: Provide support to the recently housed population

Following the Housing First model, we aim to support shelters and temporary housing programs with resources tailored to their specific populations. These resources range from medical aid to social events to professional development opportunities.

Goal #2: Inspire USC students to commit to a life of service.

USC is located in a community where thousands of people could benefit from the expertise of our undergraduate and graduate students. Our goal is to open the door for students to contribute their time and skills in meaningful ways.

We could continue to describe who we are, but we believe actions speak louder than words. Check out the TSA blog & past events gallery, where we share and showcase the work we’re doing on the ground.
