Centro Hispano brings aid to Hispanic families in Douglas County
The rise in Latino immigrants and Spanish speaking parishioners prompted a coalition that created Centro Hispano with a grant to the Success by 6 Coalition. Lydia Diebolt leads a small team focusing on case management and early intervention to remove barriers to services for undocumented clients, including connections to U visas and visas for those with relief. The center helps families stay local and avoid traveling to Kansas City or Topeka, addressing language, transportation, and financial hurdles.
