About Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana
Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana Inc. pairs fair-housing enforcement with direct community investment. In its recent grantmaking, the largest award was $110,000 to Martindale Brightwood Community Development Corp in Indianapolis, followed by another $75,000 grant to the same organization in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that supports neighborhood-based partners over time, not just one-off projects. The foundation’s giving aligns with its stated mission: advancing affordable and accessible housing, promoting housing choice and homeownership, supporting an inclusive housing market, and working against discrimination. Its active Inclusive Communities Grants program backs nonprofit and community partners working on neighborhood stabilization, homeownership expansion, mortgage loan subsidies, homeowner repairs and accessibility improvements, and affordable housing development. The recent grant list also shows support for organizations such as Flanner House of Indianapolis Inc, Mapleton-fall Creek Development Corp, and Family Promise of Greater Indianapolis Inc, indicating attention to local organizations that touch housing stability, community development, and resident support. The grant portfolio reflects a central Indiana focus, with awards concentrated in Indianapolis and nearby communities. The foundation’s work appears closely tied to housing access, equity, and neighborhood-level capacity building rather than broad national grantmaking.
What Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana Funds
In neighborhood stabilization, Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana Inc. awarded $50,000 to Mapleton-fall Creek Development Corp in 2024 and $50,000 to Community Action of Greater Indianapolis in 2024. Those grants fit a portfolio that supports local organizations working where housing conditions and community investment intersect. Homeownership and housing access are also clear priorities. The foundation gave $35,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Indiana in Auburn in 2023, alongside a $27,000 grant to Central Indiana Realtist Association in Indianapolis in 2023. Both awards sit within a broader fair-housing mission that includes homeownership expansion and mortgage lending equity. The recent grants also show support for resident services and stability. Family Promise of Greater Indianapolis Inc received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, while Judah Ministries Inc received $25,000 in 2024. Those awards suggest attention to households facing housing insecurity and the community organizations that support them.
