Army vet Robert Rangel, 78 and his son, Trino, 47, have always been by each other’s side. After living in motels for a decade, they were running out of money. With support from the Homeless Initiative, Volunteers of America Los Angeles, LAHSA and SSVF, they were able to obtain VASH vouchers, as well as COVID vaccines. Both were eventually able to move into a two-bedroom apartment in Azusa.
