The cornerstone of the services is the case management where comprehensive services to assist families in setting goals and priorities, obtaining life skills such as budgeting, communication skills, parenting, stress management and more as families begin their journey to permanent housing. As part of the shelter's services, assistance in the form of sustaining, support, and diversion is offered to homeless families who are unable to enter the shelter system due to a severe lack of emergency shelter space for families in Indianapolis. Additionally, these supportive services are offered to families who move into new housing from the emergency shelter but face the most complex challenges and have serious, persistent issues that can quickly lead to falling back into homelessness if not supported. The combination of housing and comprehensive case management has proven to be an effective and cost-effective way to help homeless families maintain permanent housing while living a more stable, productive life. It is the goal of Holy Family Shelter that all families attain permanent housing as quickly as possible (Housing First) and are then able to sustain and retain stability, self-sufficiency, and long-term permanent housing, and not return to homelessness.
