INDIANAPOLIS — 7,800 youth and young adults experience homelessness each year in Indianapolis, according to Outreach.The Indianapolis organization is working to provide a solution to those impacted by homelessness. “When a 15-year-old walks through the door and has no place to sleep, it’s a very eye-opening experience and lets you know that you need to be here and be a part of the solution,” LaTanya Reed, Outreach Program Center Coordinator, told WRTV.
The organization provides those facing adversity with a hot meal, showers, clothing, laundry, a smile and so much more.“I never knew I would have such a support system,” Kadince McGowan-Tacy told WRTV. The now 21-year-old says she knows first-hand what it's like to be homeless.“I was mostly couch surfing and being in a women’s and children’s shelter,” McgGowan-Tacy said.She says she was homeless for about 2 and a half years, that’s until she found Outreach.
