The Pueblo Area Interfaith Hospitality Network (PAIHN), a Colorado non-profit corporation, provides safe transitional shelter for homeless families in the Pueblo area using the facilities of affiliated churches. The professional staff, located at our Day Center, provides guest families with the necessary tools to regain self-sufficiency while providing a nurturing environment for their children. Families selected by IHN must demonstrate a willingness to help themselves, have specific goals and show initiative towards improving their financial and social situations. Before a family is discharged the head of the household must be working at a position which will provide sufficient income to maintain the stability of the family in independent living.
The mission of PAIHN is to provide shelter, sustenance, and support services to homeless families with children in the Pueblo Community. PAIHN works to alleviate the problem of homelessness and assist clients in their return to productive self-sufficiency thereby reducing their dependence on governmental assistance. The organization is able to provide 5,840 bed/nights and 17,520 meals a year.
