Pathway is the only program
Providing income-based, peer driven, substance-free transitional and permanent housing in Central Indiana. Pathway provides a solution for individuals graduating from other programs, which allows those agencies to decrease their waiting lists and create space to serve those in desperate need of help. Pathway’s programs provide the additional time and tools necessary for individuals in early recovery to build strong, sustainable, substance-free lives while also supporting others following in their footsteps.
Housing is matched with Individual Needs
Pathway offers three levels of recovery housing. Each level has different criteria with placement depending on housing, recovery, stability and employment. Applicants are not required to begin at Pathway-I and may enter advanced phase programs from other community partners. Applicants are not automatically added to a “waiting list”. Interviews are required after eligibility is confirmed to move forward in the process. Please submit a completed housing application if you meet the admission criteria or contact the staff member listed below with questions.
