La Posada Family Emergency Shelter

About La Posada

laposada-200

 

La Posada offers temporary housing to homeless families and Spanish speaking individuals and families.

 

In the early 1990s, an outreach caseworker of Catholic Charities, Sr. Estella Ibarra, was working in the near South end of Toledo to respond to the needs of Spanish speaking individuals and families. Today, La Posada Family Emergency Shelter continues to provide temporary housing to homeless families and for people who speak Spanish as their first language.

 

Since its opening in the early 1990s, LaPosada has helped more than 1,200 individuals and families.

 

Services offered directly by La Posada include food, clothing, personal hygiene products, shelter, and intensive case management to empower them to achieve independent housing and a greater degree of self sufficiency. Families may stay up to 60 days and case managers network with other housing providers, social service agencies and other organizations to ensure that resident’s needs are met.

Stories of Hope

Caring for Our Elders

Catholic Charities helps adults retain dignity and independence.

Jim was suffering from dementia. He’d begun wandering away from home at night, and his 70-year-old nephew was having to go out at all hours to find him and bring him back home. He wasn’t bathing or eating regularly, and his clothes were hanging off of him like curtains.

Catholic Charities’ Adult Advocacy Services interviewed Jim in his home and decided an emergency guardianship should be sought. He was eventually placed in a nursing facility near his home, which he came to enjoy very much.
