Stephany faced several barriers to employment, including being chronic homelessness. She was referred to Chrysalis Staffing Agency in October 2017 and enrolled into the LA-RISE program. She was initially hired temporarily as an E-Commerce Associate at Goodwill, but in March 2018 she informed Chrysalis that she had been offered the position permanently. Stephany is still employed and continues to volunteer to help others who are experiencing homelessness like she did. She continues to check in with her Employment Specialist and plans to work on her long-term goal of opening a homeless shelter for youth.
