Aurora selected as finalist in Women's Fund




Aurora is excited to announce that Aurora was selected as one of three program finalists in the Women's Fund of Vanderburgh County. Aurora's proposal for the Financial Empowerment and Education program went up against several worthy causes in the community. If selected, Aurora will receive $35,000 to cover Year 2 expenses of the program. Staff will make a presentation on November 6 at the annual meeting to be held at Tropicana, and winners will be determined that evening by voting of the members.

Aurora awarded grant for Vision 1505 operations




In October, TJX Foundation (TJ Maxx) awarded Aurora a $5,000 grant for Vision 1505, a permanent supportive housing complex for formerly homeless families. The funds will be used to continue case management and community engagement/education services at the facility. Thank you, TJX Foundation, for your continued support!

Gingerbread 2014 is coming soon and we need your help!




To support our mission to prevent and end homeless, Aurora will be hosting its annual Midwest Gingerbread House Competition at the Old National Events Plaza (formerly the Centre) on December 6, 2014.

Special Goodbye
Aurora will say goodbye to an amazing social worker and great co-worker in early November. Aaron Pryor, case coordinator at Vision 1505, began his work with Aurora in early 2010 as an intern with the Homeless Outreach Team. He was hired upon graduation and has impacted hundreds of lives during his time with the organization. Aaron has accepted an academic counselor position at USI. We wish Aaron the best of luck and will miss him dearly!
