Basic Needs Program

The Basic Needs Program in Merrillville, IN, is dedicated to empowering Indiana teens and young adults transitioning out of foster care by providing essential support in addressing their fundamental needs. Our mission is to alleviate the challenges faced by these young individuals as they strive for independence by offering vital resources such as financial assistance, case management, and guidance in securing housing, utilities, transportation, employment, and healthcare connections. We understand the urgency and importance of these services and are here to ensure that every young adult in our program has access to the tools needed for a successful future. To take the next step towards stability, young adults can learn more about our offerings and apply for assistance through our program.
