Description

## 🧩 Overview
- Update the Hack for LA website to accurately reflect current and past volunteer contributors for the Home Unite Us (HUU) project. We need to move inactive team members from the "Current Project Team" section to the "All Time Contributors" section and add new active volunteers to ensure the project page accurately represents current volunteer participation and properly recognizes all contributors to the HUU platform development.

---

## 🎯 Objective
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date volunteer recognition on the HfLA website project page for Home Unite Us, ensuring current active volunteers are properly featured while preserving recognition for all past contributors who have supported the project.

---

## 🔍 Background / Context
- The HfLA website features project pages for all voluntary initiatives, including Home Unite Us
- Each project page includes two key sections for volunteer recognition:
- "Current Project Team" - displays actively participating volunteers
- "All Time Contributors" - archives past volunteers who have contributed to the project
- Volunteer participation on HUU changes regularly as people join, become inactive, or complete their service
- Accurate representation helps with recruitment, project credibility, and proper volunteer recognition
- The website serves as a public-facing showcase of HfLA's volunteer community impact
- Related Resources:
- Current HfLA website HUU project page
- HUU project roster with current volunteer status
- HfLA website content management guidelines
- Volunteer contribution tracking documentation
