Casa De La Cultura Center

The mission/purpose of Casa de la Cultura Center, since 1996, is a faith-based organization that empowers the community residents of Pajaro, Ca, a farm working community, to have a voice, live in a healthy, safe environment and to acquire skills in order to navigate resources. We also provide financial assistance, if possible. This mission is accomplished through education, faith-based pastoral counseling. We collaborate with the Pajaro Disaster Long-Term Recovery Alliance working with Community Residents and Businesses. We advocate with Monterey County for low-income housing in Pajaro and Las Lomas. Pajaro is a depressed area of North Monterey County, with below poverty economic levels for most residents; this fact lends itself to chronic levels of economic needs; especially when the planting/harvesting season is over.
