Portrait of survivor

We offer compassionate support and safe housing choices for survivors of domestic violence and their children. We specialize in fresh starts – letting survivors lead the way in creating their own paths forward. We serve everyone – women and men, transgender and nonbinary – because everyone is welcome, everyone belongs. We have transitional housing at our historic building in Midtown Indianapolis, as well as in our community-based housing program. Breaking the cycle of abuse creates stronger people, stronger families and – ultimately – stronger communities.

  • 145
    families were served by Coburn Place in 2022
  • 83%
    of survivors living on-site went to safe, permanent housing
  • 83
    families were placed in safe housing in the community

We meet survivors where they are.

“Coburn Place is transitional housing, and it's exactly what I did. I transitioned into a stronger and better woman for myself and my kids.”
