Shepherd of Faith Companies Inc.
Operates as a Community Development Corporation without boundaries to enhance the Metropolitan Indianapolis community by serving the needs of individuals who have suffered economic hardship as a result of adverse circumstances or from life-altering experiences that are beyond their control.
We were founded by Elder. Dr. Lionel Rush is a pastor and community leader who embodies the servant-leadership concept and is a world-changer in his community. As a faith-based organization, we are currently work with local state, federal and private entities to assist those are economically challenged, low income as well as the homeless and special needs people which include HIV patients, and those recovering from substance addictions attain affordable housing in the Metropolitan Indianapolis area.
We are also working with other local state and private entities to provide them with support services necessary for them to attain sustainability and stability. According to the “Blueprint to End Homelessness in Indianapolis”, the cost of housing people in such situations is very little in comparison to providing support services. The tangible and non tangible benefits far outweigh the costs in the long run.
Our mission lines up with the mission of the “Indianapolis Blueprint to End Homelessness” which is watched over by CHIP (Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention) another one of our collaborating partners.
It is our belief that “affordable housing is the first step toward gaining self-respect and self sufficiency.” Our motto is: “We provide Housing, Hope” for we take a multi-disciplinary approach by collaborating with local governmental (state and federal) agencies along with social service agencies to help our clients attain affordable housing.
