What is Trusted Mentors (formerly Trusted Partners) Indpls?
Trusted Partners is an innovative mentoring program for families and individuals in homeless prevention programs in Indianapolis, Indiana. Started in 2003 to support the Indianapolis Blueprint to End Homelessness, Trusted Partners has supported over 50 families and individuals in their efforts to remain housed and move forward with their lives, with a success rate of 70% remaining housed while in the program.
Mentors support their trusted partners as they strive to:
* remain housed
* obtain and/or improve employment
* learn budgeting skills
* finish their GED or begin college
Since 2003, program participants have:
* remained housed
* moved into homeownership
* returned to school
* reduced debt
* regained hope and joy in their lives
“I am finally making things happen. I can say this because my life is finally turning around. The job I have I enjoy and I’m working more hours. I have finally opened a checking and savings account and I’m working to reduce debt... I’m reconnecting with my church and I’m looking at life from a different perspective. And I owe it all to Trusted Partners and my belief that with God anything is possible.” Temeika
