A preservation plan
for four Indiana properties.

The founder's commitment

“I intend to complete the donation of my remaining Indiana properties by December 31, 2026, subject to legal and lender requirements.”

Bharath Ramanidharan
Founder & Executive Director

The effort includes existing Foundation-related holdings and two personally held properties. The proposed donations have not been completed. A transfer involving existing financing needs legal, tax and lender review.

The properties in the plan

We are verifying lawful unit counts and current occupancy. We do not describe the combined portfolio as 17 Foundation-owned, occupied or habitable homes.

Support that matches a real housing need

Our starting priorities are preserving existing tenancies, restoring vacant housing and developing sustainable affordable operations. Local residents, housing agencies and qualified service providers will help identify the needs we can credibly address.

People interested in supporting the work can tell us which priorities matter to them. Specialized programs, including recovery housing, require their own qualified operating partner and feasibility review. We are not currently advertising a sober-living program.

Before property-specific gifts open

• A verified repair and operating budget, with confirmed funding identified separately from pending requests.
• A legally reviewed ownership and financing structure.
• Board-approved permitted uses, affordability commitments and tenant protections.
• Clear gift terms explaining what happens if funding is insufficient or a proposed transfer cannot proceed.

We welcome preliminary conversations now. Restricted “save these properties” fundraising is not open, and no contribution is currently represented as guaranteeing preservation of the portfolio.
