Pathway-I, located at 2135 North Alabama operates a 21-bed Supportive Housing program. The program was developed in 1989 to address our most vulnerable target population, homeless individuals battling addiction and mental illness. Fifty to Sixty percent of participants successfully complete the program to begin independent living upon placement in safe, substance-free, affordable permanent housing. Services includes case management, mental health and addiction support, HIV education, relapse prevention, budgeting and daily living skills, peer leadership and mentoring activities, and housing placement with follow up support. Past and present Pathway supporters include the Department of Housing and Urban Development; the City of Indianapolis, The REALTOR® Foundation, The Delta Dental Foundation, Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust Fund, The Central Indiana Community Foundation-Indianapolis Foundation and The Efroymson Family Fund, The Hoover Family Foundation, The 24 Group, The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis-Indiana Aids Fund, The JPMorgan Chase Bank Foundation, The Moore Foundation, Mel and Bren Simon Foundation, National City-now a part of PNC, Challenge Grant Anonymous Donor, The Gannett Foundation Season for Sharing Fund, United Way's Ruth Lilly Philanthropic Foundation Fund and private donors.
Pathway-II opened November 1996, next to Pathway-I. This fully furnished Semi-Independent Living program offers Pathway-I graduates a second step in their recovery process as they continue to work toward permanent housing. Pathway-II has four bedrooms on each side and serves eight Pathway graduates. Although Pathway II does not provide 24-hour supervision, support is available next door through Pathway’s main program. Pathway-II is designed to prepare residents for independent living in a manner, which allows them to integrate the new behaviors they learned at Pathway-I. Project supporters included the City of Indianapolis, The Indianapolis Foundation-an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, The Gannett Foundation Season for Sharing Fund, Especially Wicker, and Historic Landmarks Foundation. This property, previously uninhabitable, was restored to historic preservation standards.
Pathway-III also located in historic Herron Morton Place, opened August of 1998. This structure is a triplex containing three 3-bedroom apartments. Like Pathway II, Pathway-III offers completely furnished amenities for individuals in need of additional time and support before moving to independent permanent housing. Project supporters include the Indiana Housing and Finance Authority, The Indianapolis Foundation-an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indianapolis, and the Herron Morton Place Neighborhood Association. This property, previously uninhabitable like Pathway-II, was also restored to historic preservation standards.
Pathway-IV opened in the fall of 2000 in the Mapleton Fall-Creek area offering 21 units of safe, substance-free, affordable permanent housing for homeless participants who have successfully completed a transitional living program. This newly renovated 3-story brick structure offers quality living to persons of all income levels. Fees are structured to allow those with very low incomes the same standards of living, as those with moderate incomes. Applicants must demonstrate stability, sobriety, and the ability to live independently. Project supporters included the City of Indianapolis, The Indianapolis Foundation-an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, the Build Indiana Fund, The Gannett Foundation Season for Sharing Fund, and Van Rooy Properties.
Pathway-V opened in May of 2006, creating 11 additional units of permanent housing. Although designed to duplicate the success of Pathway-IV by providing safe, affordable, substance-free permanent housing to formerly homeless participants, Pathway-V apartments are all two-bedroom units, giving us, for the first time ever, the ability to house participants and their children. Applicants must demonstrate stability, sobriety, and the ability to live independently. Participants enter into one-year lease agreements, renewable indefinitely. This newly renovated facility offers 2-Bedroom unfurnished apartments, with laundry facilities on site, and secure gated parking. Rents including utilities are based on each parent’s income. Project supporters included the City of Indianapolis, The Indiana Housing and Finance Authority, The Indianapolis Foundation-an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, and The Efroymson Fund.
Pathway-VI, Pathway is working to create 18-20 new units of safe affordable permanent housing for homeless individuals and families with special needs. The project, "Pathway-VI" located at 3427 North Capitol, Indianapolis will expand of our current permanent housing programs and serve formerly homeless low income participants. In addition to addressing needs outlined in our city's 2010 Consolidated Plan by acquiring, developing and rehabilitating substandard housing units to create affordable rental housings, this project also advances goals outlined in our city's Blueprint to End Homelessness by significantly broadening the availability of affordable housing for a population that is grossly underserved, improving access and coordination of housing and services while addressing an array of issues faced by homeless dually diagnosed participants, and will lend itself to current efforts of neighborhood revitalization in one of the areas targeted by the Indianapolis Neighborhood Stabilization Program as showing the great signs of urban distress and the need of increased community investment. Pathway-VI will benefit our clients, organization, and community through the development of successful, viable, permanent-housing programs. We have increased our ability to serve participants in a manner that decreases our dependence on public service grants without hindering our ability to provide quality services.
