Did you know…

25% of the homeless in Indy are women fleeing from domestic violence??
17% of Indy’s homeless are veterans??

HealthNet’s Homeless Initiative Program (HIP) recently launched an Open Doors With Care campaign in the hopes to raise $10,000 by March 10^th to help Indianapolis’ homeless get back on their feet.

Open Doors with Care

As one of the largest and most comprehensive programs for the homeless in the state, HIP provides a network of services to treat the whole person, as he or she moves from homelessness into housing, employment and self-sufficiency.

Last year, HIP served 3,229 homeless men, women and children and with your help we can change those numbers for the better! And, it does not take much to make a difference!
