Brightlane Learning, founded in 2001, is the one Indianapolis organization that exists solely to meet the specialized academic needs of children experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness. Thousands of children in Indianapolis qualify as homeless each year. This includes youth living in shelters, motels, "doubled up" housing, and on the streets. In short, the problem is far more pervasive than most people realize.
By providing personalized academic support to students and guidance and advocacy to their families, we interrupt the cycle of homelessness with the power
of education.
