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.
Our Services
Nourish
We provide packaged meals, clothing, and hygiene kits at partner shelters — meeting immediate needs with dignity and care. Medical and dental students join to offer basic screenings and referrals.
Empower
From mental health and wellness to anger management and oral hygiene, we host welcoming workshops that build confidence, skills, and connection. Students lead; residents set the pace.
Restore
With partners like PATH, we convert underused areas into calming wellness spaces — soft seating, greenery, art, and gardens. Small upgrades, lasting impact.
