"I had no choice," he said. "I needed a place to live. So I told myself I gotta work three jobs." Casillas drives for Uber and Postmates, does construction work, and is a first responder at a mental health center, dispatched by the L.A. Police Department to de-escalate potentially violent situations, most involving homeless persons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
