Our History<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Established in 1966, a group of concerned citizens came together to form History Builders, Inc. The organization now known as La Casa de Esperanza, Inc. They purchased a house on Ryan Street from which they operated the organization\u2019s first major project: a daycare program.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1979, La Casa de Esperanza relocated and expanded its physical operations twice. First came 410 Arcadian Avenue, which was renovated to accommodate administrative needs and house a multipurpose classroom. Next came the adjacent building, which today houses La Casa de Esperanza\u2019s Community Center.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1999, La Casa began a capital campaign to raise $2.3 million to finance the construction of the organization\u2019s new Community and Child Development Center. With their goal reached, the new center opened its doors in May 2001, allowing La Casa to expand its programs and pursue its goals more assertively than ever before.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Today, La Casa de Esperanza prides itself on the organization\u2019s ongoing ability to establish and maintain powerful and effective partnerships with other community collaborators. La Casa\u2019s community partners are a vital part of the growth and success of the organization and its programs.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
