PSW began with a simple belief that everyone deserves dignity, opportunity, and belonging.

In this special video, Val shares her memories of PSW’s founders, Lupe and Dean Hahn, their dedication, compassion, and the dream that started it all. She’s seen PSW grow from those early days into the thriving community it is today, built on the same heart and purpose that inspired its beginning.

Through the years, PSW has changed in many ways, but the values that guide us have only grown stronger: Integrity, Collaboration, Compassion, Belonging, and Accountability to those we serve.

Honoring our past and embracing our future, we’re proud to carry forward the vision that began nearly seven decades ago, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.
