Outreach, Inc., established in 1996, is the only non-profit organization dedicated to serving homeless youth in Indianapolis. Through its staff and volunteers, it helps over 400 individuals per year achieve success in the areas of Employment, Housing, Mental Health, Transportation, Education, Physical Needs, Childcare, Aftercare and Financial Literacy. The organization conducts various programs including one-on-one counseling and a drop-in center at its office at 2822 East New Street. In order to meet the complex issues of teen homelessness in Indianapolis, Outreach is developing a larger facility at 2416 East New York Street. The 12,000sf building will include the same functioning spaces found in the existing building, albeit in larger sizes and better design. No housing or overnight shelter facilities of any kind are included in the proposed facility at this time. It will include administrative office space, counseling rooms, a kitchen, showers, laundry facilities, and meeting areas. The organization plans to purchase the property in January 2015 and begin construction in the summer of 2015, with an opening in the Spring of 2016.
