LaPosada 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.
During the past three years, volunteers from the community have been working to restore and renovate the shelter. Through their efforts and the financial support received from state funding, local foundations and private donors, over $175,000 has been raised to support this renovation project for the kitchen, common areas, offices and guest rooms.
The dedication and support of the members of our renovation committee has enabled us to create a more safe and welcoming environment for our guests at the shelter.
