Puentes de Esperanza Family Support

Our team partners with numerous agencies to connect families to community resources. Services are available in English and Spanish. Agencies and/or resources include: 

Workshops & Education

Workshops and education classes cover topics such as financial literacy, healthcare rights, and parenting.

Latino Special Services Program

The Latino Special Services Program is run in collaboration with DCFS to provide interpretation and translation services during child protective investigations.

Immigrant Family Resource Program

Puentes de Esperanza guides individuals through the immigration process along with other government-provided programs.  We provide referrals to services relating to medicine, immigration law, education, after-school programs, and disabilities as well as outreach programs and education.

Illinois Welcoming Center

As a satellite location of Hoyleton Youth and Family Services, the Illinois Welcoming Center serves as a one-stop community center that provides each of our services to immigrant populations.

Community Outreach

Our community outreach provides services to families such as advocacy, education, interpretation/translation, and other support.

Ruth and Fabio are two individuals who have been impacted by Puentes de Esperanza. With the help of the program, Ruth and Fabio and their three children navigated the complex citizenship system by hiring lawyers and interpreters, filing taxes, studying English, and connecting to other resources. 

Our Counseling Care team was able to connect the family to counseling services and help with insurance information and provide Ruth and Fabio with the right resources to get married.
