INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — We often hear about the lack of affordable housing and the homeless camps around Indianapolis, but on Sunday, local faith communities focused on how the city as a whole can work together to meet the needs of people who are sleeping on the streets.
Churches around the city urged their congregations to contribute to what’s being called “Streets to Home Indy.”
This is a citywide initiative designed to end chronic homelessness by providing safe, permanent homes, and supportive services.
This effort is being modeled after other cities where government agencies, nonprofits, faith institutions, and private partners have worked together successfully.
Funds raised this weekend are a crucial part of the $8.1 million funding effort needed for Phase 1 of the initiative, which aims to house 350 people currently living on the streets.
