Mission, Goals and Objectives

Posada's mission is to provide housing and supportive services that empower homeless individuals and families in Pueblo County to become self-supporting members of the community.

Posada's overall goal is for each of its clients to become self-sufficient and able to live independently in the community. The objectives that support this goal are:

• Shelter 120 unduplicated families in our emergency shelter program.
• House 12 families in Posada’s Transitional Rural Initiative Project.
• House 10 families using Section Eight Vouchers through SHHP and the Pueblo Housing Authority.
• House 8 families with disabilities through the Permanent Supportive Housing Project.
• Serve 1,500 unduplicated individuals in Posada’s supportive services program.
• Maintain 40 units of housing in Posada’s Rio Sacramento apartments and 4 units at 724 East 5th Street.
• Break ground for Via Don Carlos, a development of 30 houses and a community center for migrant farm workers.
• Provide services to over 500 individuals at-risk who are at risk of HIV/AIDS or STDs at an outreach service center.

• Posada recognizes and works to enhance the inherent dignity and value of each human being.
• Posada believes that each human being has a right to decent shelter, food and clothing.
• Posada believes that homelessness can be reduced only if underlying causes are addressed, including the lack of affordable housing and the need for a continuum of services to help clients reach the stability needed for independent living. 
• Posada's priority is to secure the services and housing that its clients need, whether provided by Posada or through the network of agencies available in Pueblo and the surrounding area.
• Posada builds and rehabilitates housing for those in the lowest income brackets, housing that does not overlap with what private builders usually supply.
