INDIANAPOLIS — A nonprofit group and an Indianapolis church are working together to help those that are homeless.

Sanctuary Indy and Lynhurst Baptist Church have partnered on a project to try and create a community of tiny homes and duplexes for the most at-risk people in the city.

“We are actually taking individuals who are at the very top of the list,” Michelle Shelburne, founder of Sanctuary Indy, told WISH-TV. “Without interaction, they would die outside.”

If approved, the plan is to build the community on South Lyndhurst Drive near West Washington Street. Sanctuary Indy has a 99-year-lease to develop the land owned by the church.

A grant from Indianapolis-based Congregations with Community is helping to fund the projects, with each home costing about $50,000.
