INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett stopped by Horizon House Wednesday to share the progress they've made helping families find permanent homes.

The city helped Horizon House through the Housing to Recovery Fund. With that money, Horizon House has helped 160 families find a place to call home over the past three years.  

"We have adopted the housing first model and we believe that's what has enabled us to have such great success. Not only are our neighbors still stably housed, but some of them are really thriving," said Horizon House Executive Director Teresa Wessel.

Wessel said if all goes as planned, they'll break ground next month on a project with 36 one-bedroom units to help even more people.
