Casa Esperanza - Empowering Hispanic Immigrants in Florida
Mission Statement: Casa Esperanza is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for Hispanic immigrants in Florida. We offer diverse programs and services aiming to facilitate their successful resettlement, integration, and empowerment.
Addressing Community Challenges: The Hispanic population in Jacksonville faces higher substance use rates, leading to challenges like human trafficking, STDs, unintended pregnancies, criminal records, academic struggles, and violence. Our initiative aims to support families at risk of substance abuse and other harmful practices through peer support, psychoeducation, and resource provision, thereby reducing victims of human trafficking and enhancing public health outcomes.
