Are you an experienced painter?

There is a special project at Gateway West and our team could use your skills!

The Department of Health, Housing, and Homelessness, in partnership with Chicanos Por La Causa, welcomes hundreds of people seeking shelter every day. Therefore, we are interested in giving the lobby and hallway a fresh coat of paint to elevate the atmosphere of our Guest/Host Services area. We would like to invite anyone with a painting background to participate.
