Hard Times: Union Station Homeless Services' Joyce Miles paints houses
On a wet Tuesday morning this past October, Off-Ramp's Kevin Ferguson went to Pasadena's annual Homeless Connect Day. He heard stories from several homeless people and service providers. He also talked with Joyce Miles, director of Pasadena's Union Station Homeless Services. Joyce wasn't handing pamphlets or offering advice: instead, she was painting a small, cardboard house.
