THE PROBLEM

The Research Shows There Are 4 Levels of Self-Sufficiency

  • THRIVING adequate financial and social capital.

  • STABLE at least $50K annual salary, home ownership, but less than six months of reserves.

  • AT-RISK temporary employment, but vulnerable & dependent on others for transportation, housing, and food.

  • CRISIS fully dependent on others to survive, homeless or in transitional housing.

The Dream Center focuses on vulnerable and at-risk single mothers known as A.L.I.C.E.s.

The A.L.I.C.E. Population

In Central Indiana there are close to 20,000 nonprofits selflessly serving thousands of people in crisis every day. These organizations save lives and make a difference!

Most resources focus on people in crisis, leaving thousands of at-risk families isolated without a pathway to stability. The Dream Center Indianapolis uniquely supports at-risk and vulnerable families, especially single mothers.

These resilient women are known as the A.L.I.C.E. population: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. They work multiple jobs, earn $30,000 or less annually, and strive tirelessly to make ends meet. We partner with the A.L.I.C.E. population to support their drive for a thriving life.
