Emergency Bed Space

After being referred by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Janeca* came to the Social Service Center Emergency Bed Space Program with her six children.  Her husband was in jail due to the violence perpetrated towards her and her children.

Janeca and her children were transferred into a traditional room at the Center two nights after coming into the Emergency Bed Space Program.  She met with her case manager and arranged transportation to get her kids to and from school.  She also got connected with a counselor for her and the children to go to.  After two days in the shelter she became frightened after seeing family members near the shelter.  Her case manager worked with another agency and was able to transfer her to another shelter.

Janeca is still in contact with her case manager for support services and is doing well.  Her husband is in jail on numerous charges.  She hopes to have an apartment within the next three weeks.
