The Dream Center Receives $4.7 Million to Empower Single Mothers in Indianapolis

The Indiana Department of Family Resources has awarded Dream Center Indianapolis a $4.7 million TANF grant. This significant funding will launch our innovative Pathways System, designed to uplift 200 single mothers in the Crooked Creek Community.

Our 40-week Pathways System will help single mothers secure careers with starting salaries of $50,000, provide financial coaching for homeownership, and offer comprehensive health and wellness services. This initiative aims to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change for these hardworking women and their families.
