Streets to Home Indy
STREETS TO HOME: HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS FIND HOME
At least 280 people experiencing homelessness in Indianapolis have found housing through Streets to Home Indy, a community-wide initiative working to make homelessness brief and non-recurring. As of October 6, 2026, the initiative is making significant progress toward its Phase 1 goal of housing 300–350 people and closing encampments. Twelve encampments and three downtown zones have been closed, with plans for Phase 2 to expand rehousing capabilities and help individuals and families move quickly into permanent housing.

Last year, St. Paul’s contributed more than $50,000 to Streets to Home Indy! St. Paul’s Indy’s Community Engagement team, through its Faith in Action mission, committed $25,000 and invited the congregation to match that gift. Thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our matching goal and provided more than 18 move-in kits for neighbors transitioning into housing.
This year, St. Paul’s Indy is once again committing $25,000 from the Community Engagement budget and is inviting the congregation to match that gift with an additional $25,000. Every contribution helps our neighbors move from the uncertainty of homelessness toward the stability of a permanent home and the support needed to remain housed.
