CIRCLE CITY VILLAGE
ABOUT
Indy’s first permanent supportive housing community that offers connection and safety rather than isolation for chronically homeless individuals.
The Cycle of Chronic Homelessness
With your help,
we can disrupt the cycle.
Our Community-First Model stops stress from leading to crisis and a return to homelessness by providing a higher level of care:
High-Quality, Safe Homes
Community Partnerships
Intentional Social Living
24/7 Access to Peer Support
On-Site Professional Services
Master Site Plan
Our first supportive housing community is Circle City Village, situated on Lynhurst Drive.
In partnership with Lynhurst Baptist Church, Circle City Village is a place where our most vulnerable neighbors will remain housed for as long as they wish to stay.
Our residents will be engaged with community-oriented living arrangements and activities.
Phase One includes six tiny homes for six individuals or couples and is scheduled to be completed early 2026.
Phase Two includes five duplexes for 10 families and a community center and is scheduled to begin construction summer 2026.

Community Impact
This isn't just a humanitarian effort – it's good fiscal sense too!
The estimated annual average cost of a chronically homeless person to Indianapolis is $20,571 per year per resident, according to data from the “Estimated Costs of Homelessness in Indianapolis 2016” report.
Permanent Supportive Housing models can provide more individualized support and
save taxpayers approximately $4,500, per individual, per year.
