La Posada Family Emergency Shelter

About La Posada

laposada-200

 

La Posada 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.

Nurturing Families

Toledo couple grateful birth mothers chose life.

Like most parents, John and Amy Schnorberger, of Sylvania, are grateful to God for the gift of her children. But their gratitude is also directed toward specific human beings – the birth mothers of Katy, 7, and Drew, 5.

“To us, these birth families are heroes. They did what was best for the children, and not necessarily what was easiest for them at the time.

“At our house on Mother’s Day, these women are very much honored. It means so much when they tell us, ‘Every time we see you with these kids, we know we did what was best for them.’

“And we’re grateful to Catholic Charities for helping us become the family we are.”
