CIRCLE CITY VILLAGE

ABOUT

Sanctuary Indy’s first supportive housing community, offering connection and safety rather than isolation for chronically homeless individuals and families.

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 individuals or couples and is scheduled to be completed Summer 2026.

Phase Two includes five duplexes for 10 families and a community center and is scheduled to begin construction soon after.

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.
