Latino Learning Center Organization
OUR HISTORY
The Latino Learning Center, Inc. was founded in October 1979 when it acquired as a gift a dilapidated 21,300 square foot building. Private donations funded the initial building remodeling and educational programs were initiated in 1983. Additional building renovations were completed in 1999 with a grant from the City of Houston. Annually an average of 450 adults receive training in the various vocational and educational programs.
In 1985 the Latino Learning Center became the first Hispanic community agency to develop HUD assisted housing for the low-income elderly. One hundred ten (110) units of elderly housing have been developed to date. The Latino Learning Center also established a state licensed adult day care program in 1995. The program serves an average of 60 elderly/disabled clients to maintain their independent living.
The Latino Learning Center is a non-profit 501 (C) (3) Tax Exempt organization that has proudly served the Houston area for more than Forty Three (43) years.
