Programs

Building More Than Housing

Solace House Collective is continuing to build the infrastructure needed to support women beyond their initial move into stable housing.

Along with preparing our first residences, Solace House is developing programming and community relationships focused on housing stability, employment and economic mobility, benefits and resource navigation, life skills, permanent-housing transition, and long-term independence.

Our goal is to create more than a place to live. We are building a housing organization designed to help women move from instability toward greater security, independence, and lasting housing stability.

Two Solace House Residences Move Closer to Opening

Solace House Collective is preparing two Indianapolis residences that will provide six private, furnished bedrooms for adult women experiencing housing instability.

Our West Side residence is targeted for an October opening, followed by our South Side residence in November. Each home is being thoughtfully prepared to provide residents with privacy, stability, and the everyday essentials needed to begin moving forward.

Housing inquiries and agency referrals are currently being accepted as we complete final preparations.
