Posada Esperanza Residents
|
Residents at Posada Esperanza are single
immigrant women and their children. Many of the women have found themselves
homeless after escaping from a domestic violence situation. They often
lack a support network of family and friends. Without a social security
number and with limited English proficiency, they are restricted to
irregular and low-paying jobs like cleaning houses and taking care
of other people’s children. Their situation is complicated by
the fact that single mothers are only able to work when their own
children are in school, or when childcare has been secured. The women
rely on public transportation, additionally limiting their work flexibility.
Posada Esperanza has created its programs to help remove the barriers
these women face in achieving self-sufficiency.
