A Unique Space to Feel at Home
We believe that everyone who walks through the doors of the Dream House is deserving of compassion. Here, they will find community, acceptance, friendship, the love of Christ, and resources. There is no other place like it in Indianapolis.
Come as You are and Belong
The Dream House is a place in Indianapolis where all women are welcome while they are actively in the lifestyle of sex work and/or addiction. People can come as they are, and they don’t have to clean it all up to get help.
Walk Towards Healing at Your Own Pace
Women’s lives are better because they have someone to walk with them, at their own pace, towards healing. They find community, acceptance, friendship, the love of Christ, and resources.
Feel Seen. Be Accepted. Be Loved.
Our strength is the unique, no-strings-attached community found here. We see each woman the way Jesus sees them—the way He created them to be. We pray they can begin to see themselves as worthy of love and life transformation.

What We Believe
The Dream House is ruled by love, compassion, belonging, freedom, and relationship.
The Dream House Values
We provide a place for women
to belong without exception
and without discrimination.
We believe we are “invited to
turn toward love and away from
fear, because we know who we
are, because we belong.” In a
place of belonging, we are safe
to discover our true identity and
become in wholeness all we were
created to be.
We believe individual
growth is increased exponentially in
healthy one-on-one relationships and
in community in which you’re free to
be transparent and vulnerable. Our mission is lived out relationally in everything we do. We
begin first with our relationship to
God and each other, and invite others
into healthy relationships in practical,
spiritual, and emotional ways. We
believe two people are better off than
one, for they can help each other
succeed (Ecclesiastes 4:9).
We believe true freedom is found
in Jesus. Each opportunity to serve
in practical ways at The Dream House is a chance to share the
truth, which sets people free. We
believe God longs for His children
to know Him and to experience
extraordinary freedom; from
darkness, from fear, from the past,
and from trauma. We know if Jesus
sets us free, we are truly free (John
8:36).
We believe healing begins with
compassion. Everyone who
walks through our doors is
deserving of compassion, which
is displayed daily in faithful love,
kindness, mercy, and forgiveness.
Compassion does not repay
unfavorable actions with anger,
but with love and understanding.
It leans in and listens, seeking to
know and be known, and honors
others without judgement.
We love and are able to love
because God loved us first, and we
know we cannot be separated from
His love. Love is lived out at The Dream House in the form of God’s
agape love; a love without agenda,
that expects nothing in return,
does not seek reciprocation, and is
unconditional. It is spoken in word
and in deed. It heals and transforms.
Love never gives up, never loses
faith, is always hopeful, and endures
through every circumstance (1
Corinthians 13:7).
