About Us

Our Story, Our Mission, Our Purpose

For over a decade, The Right Choice Independent Living Program has been a beacon of hope for women and families seeking stability, support, and a path forward.

Our Story

Born from a Vision of Compassion

The Right Choice Independent Living Program was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every woman and family deserves a safe place to call home and the support needed to build a brighter future.

What began as a small community effort has grown into a trusted organization serving women and families across Indiana. Our founders saw firsthand the gaps in supportive housing and made a commitment to fill them — not just with a roof overhead, but with wraparound services, compassionate staff, and a true community of care.

Today, we continue that mission every day — walking alongside our residents as they take courageous steps toward independence, stability, and long-term success.

Why We Exist

Housing instability affects thousands of women and families across Indiana every year. Many face impossible choices — between safety and shelter, between stability and survival. The Right Choice ILP exists to change that reality.

We are committed to providing not just a place to stay, but a genuine pathway to independence. Through individualized support, life skills training, employment assistance, and strong community partnerships, we help our residents build the foundation they need for lasting change.

We exist because every family deserves a fair chance. We exist because compassion in action changes lives. And we exist because the right choice — for our residents, our community, and our future — is always to show up and serve.
