A
transitional housing program without case management or programming
staff.
|
Mission Statement
To provide a stable and affordable environment, while ensuring the entire
family has the opportunity to enhance their education, job, and life
skills as they transition from homelessness to permanent housing.
|
| John's Lodge
offers housing to individuals and families in transition. Whenever
possible, former participants of other Quest for Excellence programs are
accepted as residents. Referrals from other local agencies are
welcomed and accepted. The referring agency must agree to provide
necessary follow up care and case management services, as John's
Lodge has no
program staffing. The types of transitions vary among the tenants,
as do age, race, and gender. The City of Indianapolis and the Coalition
for Homelessness Intervention & Prevention estimate that 9,000
households in Indianapolis will experience homelessness during the
course of a year. Many families earning less than $11,000 a year
spend over half their income on housing costs. In order to enable
families to achieve stability, presently there is no established time
limit for residency.
|
| John's Lodge
is designed to serve as transition housing for individuals recently
completing independent living programming or other rehabilitation
programs. Residents must have stable employment and continue
striving to overcome personal difficulties and move forward with their
lives. Although many residents are former clients of other
Quest for Excellence
programs or local social service programs, they must have sufficient
financial means to fully sustain themselves.
Follow up case management services must be provided by the referring
agency.
