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, our newest program, was completed in September of 2011. It created 20 additional units of safe, affordable, substance-free, permanent housing for homeless individuals and families exiting transitional living programs. Pathway-VI benefits our clients, our organization, and our community by increasing affordable housing to an underserved population and eliminating an unsafe structure that has served as a haven for crime, drug activity, and urban blight. The rehabilitation of Pathway-VI has contributed to current efforts of neighborhood revitalization in one of the areas targeted by the Indianapolis Neighborhood Stabilization Program as showing great signs of urban distress and the need for increased community investment. In addition, Pathway-VI advances goals outlined in our city's Blueprint to End Homelessness. Pathway-VI is modeled after our current successful programs: Pathway-IV, a 21-unit permanent-housing facility and Pathway-V, an 11-unit permanent-housing program.
