Mission Statement
Street outreach & advocacy for individuals experiencing homelessness in Indianapolis.
About This Cause
The PourHouse assists individuals experiencing homelessness in overcoming barriers to housing, treatment and healthcare. Through community-style street outreach and a unique peer advocacy approach, we help people define and achieve their goals. We distribute clothing, food, blankets, hygiene products, and related goods on a daily basis. Our Community Gatherings twice per week provide a hospitable environment for us to connect with people who choose not to engage with traditional service providers. We carve out time during the week with individuals to help them set and achieve their personal goals. Our agenda is simple: Define the next step and determine how we can help someone take that step. This approach creates a framework for relationship, trust and long-term success. The PourHouse is recognized by the City of Indianapolis, IMPD and homeless service providers as an outreach organization that is critical to the overall picture of addressing homelessness. We are specialized in engaging individuals that are considered chronically homeless and those with mental health barriers. We have a 24/7 toll free line and have created a unique military dog tag style identification system that provides a link between individuals living on the streets and emergency services. We are a part of IMPD’s Homeless Outreach Unit, providing support to the public and private sector in Indianapolis on issues of homelessness. We are a member of the Indianapolis Engagement Center Board and Homeless Mental Health Case Conferencing Committee Community Outreach Task Force (COT Force). Through collaboration, we help individuals access services and address their needs.
