Mission
|
 |
|
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. |
In most cities, it is easy to see that homelessness is a problem. Lines of desperate-looking people circle soup kitchens waiting for a meal. Homeless people beg for money at street corners, or fill public spaces such as parks or libraries.
It is not like that in Pueblo County. For many of us, it is easy to live here for years without knowingly encountering a homeless person.
And yet, we have people without homes in Pueblo. For more information on Pueblo's Homeless Population, click HERE.
What We Do |
|
Our staff is committed to providing a continuum of care for the homeless that includes emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing, and a wide range of services. Posada constantly looks for ways to support low-income individuals and families as they work toward self-sufficiency.
