We are so incredibly grateful to The Indianapolis Foundation for their support. Thank you for all that you do for the community!
Continuing our spotlight on HealthNet Homeless Initiative Program! Hear from Melissa, the Diversion Team Manager, and Key, the program’s Director, about how the program is combatting homelessness and helping individuals in Marion County achieve self-sufficiency. The Homeless Initiative Program (HIP)’s comprehensive services—ranging from healthcare and street outreach to housing and employment support—are essential for transitioning individuals and families from homelessness to stability. The program specifically fills a very necessary gap in services for families with children experiencing homelessness in Indianapolis. Melissa and Key say that flexible funding from the Indianapolis Foundation allows the HIP to respond quickly and effectively to urgent needs. The program has expanded its reach by partnering with other organizations addressing homelessness. When a partner calls with a request, such as covering finances for a family’s housing, they are able to say ‘yes’ and help more families in need. We’re proud to help HealthNet lead with love and transform lives. ?? #Indianapolis #TheIndianapolisFoundation #HealthNet
