At La Plaza, we know that it can be a challenge for students to focus on academic success or adults to achieve in the workplace if their basic needs are not being met.
Through our Access to Health and Social Services program, La Plaza provides a variety of resources, referrals, and social services to ensure that all Latinos in Central Indiana have access to food, shelter, clothing, and health care so their personal success can become a priority.
La Plaza’s staff of Community Resource Specialists provides culturally and linguistically appropriate services for the whole family on-site at the office, conveniently located on the eastside of Indianapolis. Specialists work with clients to identify individual needs and create a custom plan for achieving their goals.
La Plaza has developed strong partnerships with high-quality providers and organizations to deliver programs, workshops, and referrals for its Latino families at locations throughout Central Indiana.
