About Posada of Pueblo
Our 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.
- 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 100 unduplicated families in our emergency shelter program.
- House 7 families in Posada’s Transitional Housing Project.
- House 7 families with disabilities through the Permanent Supportive Housing Project.
- Provide rental assistance for 15 families through the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program.
- Provide housing for 16 homeless Veterans at the Monterey Apartments and 16 units at Hudson and Fourth Street.
- Serve 3000 unduplicated individuals in Posada’s supportive services program.
- Maintain 40 units of housing in Posada’s Rio Sacramento apartments and 4 additional low-income units.
- Serve 200 unaccompanied youth in Pueblo County by providing outreach and supportive services.
- Continue to participate in Pueblo’s Continuum of Care group which meets on a monthly basis.
- Organize and sponsor the Petra McCulley Homeless Memorial and Community Picnic and Take Care Fair (1,200 people served) and the Homeless Veteran’s STAND DOWN (40 Homeless Veterans.)
- 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.
