SUBJECT: Budget Request: Dismas House
Funding Source* (circle) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General; Riv. East Res.
* Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Budget request for $125,000 to be provided to Dismas House of Indiana, Inc. via
a donation agreement
SPECIFICS: Dismas House, located on South Saint Joseph Street, provides housing and programming—
including employment assistance—for individuals reentering our community following incarceration.
Through a strong network of support, the organization helps residents rebuild their lives with dignity and
purpose.
Recently, Dismas House acquired the building at 402 East South Street, now serving as The Dismas Hub.
This community space allows the organization to expand its programming and deepen its impact. The
building also includes apartments on the second floor, further supporting transitional housing needs.
While the Dismas Hub building is in good shape, it needs a new roof. This budget request would provide
Dismas House with the funds to repair or replace the roof and make any other repairs or renovations the
building needs.
