IMPACTO SOCIAL
EL CENTRO DE RECURSOS FAMILIARES
PARA LA COMUNIDAD LATINA
En el 2013 la Ciudad de Chattanooga le dió a La Paz la posición de Centro de Recursos para Familias Latinas. Tomamos este papel muy en serio - actuamos como guía y conexión para familias latinas. Ya sea que buscan ayuda con diligencias cotidianas o consejos sobre como manejar las cosas dificiles, nuestro personal trabaja sin cesar apoyando la comunidad para que puedan prosperar.
CASE MANAGEMENT
We welcome both walk-ins and appointments! Because we are here to help families find the help they need in respectful and culturally-appropriate ways. Sometimes they just want to learn what resources are available, or need help filling out paperwork like health insurance applications, school forms, WIC, and SNAP. At other times, they are the victims of domestic abuse or a threat of homelessness. No matter what situation they are facing, we are here to help.
RECURSOS Y INFORMACIÓN
Parte de nuestra misión continua en La Paz es garantizar que nuestros clientes sean ciudadanos informados. Lo hacemos en parte al proporcionar oportunidades para que las familias aprendan sobre temas importantes relacionados con su seguridad como miembros de la comunidad y comprometiendo a otros de una manera que fortalezca a la comunidad en general. Celebramos reuniones periódicas de seguridad de la comunidad, talleres de asistencia legal, sesiones de divulgación educativa y organizamos un consulado anual de Guatemala móvil.
RESOURCE & REFERRAL
With 19 years of relationships built in the latino community, we are a trusted resource for serving immediate needs and advocating for inclusion and equity. We are also a trusted partner in the broader Chattanooga community, with a proven track record of delivering on program goals and objectives, with accountability and transparency. So we are able to make connections between those in need and those who can bring assistance.
BETTER TOGETHER
We believe every client that walks in our doors deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and that the more avenues for interconnectivity that exist in our city, the better we can be at caring for the ones who need it most.
