Indigo Door Project Inc

IDP was founded by a displaced, and pregnant single mother of a 3-year-old. Every evening before falling asleep she would imagine the home she and her children would share. A home with a huge backyard, lots of light, and a big beautiful blue door that invited neighbors to come over, play, talk, eat and feel the warmth of their home. While navigating complex systems and situations for 3 years she finally gained some stability because of the kindness and mentorship of community members, she founded Indigo Door Project Inc, so no other parent would have to struggle in isolation. Indigo Door Project Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit, dedicated to decreasing child homelessness in single-parent families, and lightening the burden on grandparents raising grandchildren. We focus on wrapping the arms of the community around households so that no family feels alone in a community filled with people. We can all agree that children need warm, healthy housing in safe communities to thrive. Yet all over Oklahoma families are isolated, displaced, even homeless and unsure what to do next. The Indigo Door Project helps stabilize communities by acquiring affordable, healthy homes for single-parent families, and repairing the homes of grandparents with children in their care. We accept donated homes, lots, and commercial properties in diverse communities all over the Oklahoma City Metro and renovate them with the help of professionals, volunteers, and corporate sponsors. Then, we provide them to vulnerable households as affordable rentals and community-building spaces. Effectively pulling children and youth out of chronic homelessness and displacement while providing opportunities for connection. We want to ensure that that blue door, our founder and her children dreamed of becomes a symbol of hope for homeless and displaced mothers and fathers all over the Oklahoma City Metro. Making that Indigo Door the first one they see as a newly housed family.
