The Village of Merici

Village of Merici is a nonprofit organization based in Central Indiana that provides safe, affordable housing and individualized support services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our mission is to empower individuals to live
independently, make meaningful choices, and actively engage in their communities. We believe every person deserves a life filled with dignity, purpose, and connection.

Our Mission

Today, Village of Merici operates three supportive living communities—two in Lawrence and one in Carmel—serving adults across the Indianapolis area. In addition to housing, we offer personalized coaching, Medicaid waiver services, and enrichment programs that focus on independent living skills, employment readiness, and community inclusion.

Through these supports, individuals build confidence, develop life skills, and experience a true sense of belonging. Proceeds from the Indy Hat directly support this mission, helping create more opportunities for adults with IDD to thrive.
