Housing Stability for Women in Indianapolis
Solace House Collective is an Indianapolis 501(c)(3) nonprofit with its west-side home now open and its second residence in preparation.
Current Stage of Development
Solace House Collective operates two Indianapolis homes, both now open. Our south Indianapolis home is accepting housing inquiries and agency referrals. Contact us about current availability at either home. We are building community relationships and obtaining furnishings and household essentials.
Program Components
What Our Program Includes
Both Indianapolis homes are now open. Our south Indianapolis home is accepting housing inquiries and agency referrals. Contact us about current availability at either home. The components below describe our housing program and additional support being developed. Items marked In Development are planned and are not yet available.
Private Furnished Bedrooms
Each resident receives a private, fully furnished bedroom in a women-only shared home. Utilities, Wi-Fi, and laundry are included in the monthly residency fee.
Shared-Home Affordability
By sharing a home with other women, residents access safe, stable housing at a cost that supports financial recovery and independence.
Utilities, Wi-Fi and Laundry Included
All monthly residency fees include utilities, Wi-Fi, and on-site laundry — removing unpredictable household expenses for residents.
Six- or Twelve-Month Residency Agreements
Residents choose a 6-month or 12-month residency agreement, providing a stable and predictable housing commitment.
Individual Intake and Screening
Every inquiry is reviewed individually through a consistent intake and screening process based on availability, program fit, and the applicant's ability to live independently. An inquiry does not guarantee residency.
Agency Referrals
Solace House accepts referrals from social workers, case managers, healthcare providers, Veterans' organizations, faith communities, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners.
