Sometimes a very urgent need created by Disasters. See our EmergencyMgmt page.
Sometimes an immediate need (for other reasons)...
Homelessness -- for a number of reasons. And it's MORE than just those we think of stereotypically; it includes families living out of their cars, often encouraging their children to go stay with a friend 'overnight'.
And a root-cause for many of our homeless, is Mental Health. What is the Church doing?
Tech Question: 'Every' homeless person has a cell phone. Store their key info, to be able to transfer easily into our social agency's forms?
[Cell phones are their 'connection' to the rest of the world. Moreover, it's the only thing they still have or can 'hold on to'.]
Question: How about 'adopting' a homeless person into your cell phone family? Just need 'parental control'. Maybe Wheeler does it? Sheltering Wings does something similar, per Stvn. Phones are readily available, via donations. Think #911. Require #211 access?
CHIP, Wheeler... get a socially-adept volunteer to lead such an effort.
Other Housing-related Needs & Resources:
Resources: Temporary MISSIONS/MISSIONARIES housing is somewhat available on the southside of town, in conjunction with a major Missions organization there.
Resources: Temporary gym-floor-space, mattresses & showers... for outreach activities (like Great Banquet)... and disaster-relief teams traveling through Indy and staying overnight. Contact @IndyChristian
Stray Thoughts, Ideas, Links:
Cold-weather Shelter idea: At the very very least, can churches perhaps open their AIRLOCKs to the homeless, to be able to get in out of the extreme cold?
