La Posada Interim Housing for Families Experiencing Homelessness
Casa Central offers a housing program called La Posada. The program's main goal is to restore families who are experiencing homelessness to stable and permanent living situations by providing interim housing for up to 120 days. In addition to housing, La Posada provides case management and support services to identify each family's strengths and needs, thereby addressing the root causes of homelessness and preventing recurrence. During their temporary stay at La Posada, each participant has access to on-site supportive services, including food, clothing from donations, transportation vouchers, babysitting, pre-vocational training/job readiness, ESL, and financial literacy.
