Handbook of Help

Program Overview

The Handbook of Help (HoH) is a vital resource for individuals experiencing crises in Central Indiana, offering comprehensive guidance on available services, resources, and programs. It includes essential information such as contact numbers, locations, and services provided across various categories like housing assistance, food insecurity, legal aid, and youth and family resources.

To ensure accuracy and reliability, the HoH is updated annually. This meticulous maintenance of hours, addresses, and service lists is crucial for delivering the best support to those in need.

To further its impact, the HoH is also available online 24/7, providing continuous access to vital information. Additionally, virtual copies have been translated into Spanish and Haitian Creole to better serve our diverse population.
