Huge banners of smiling children on the outside of the new Gene Glick Family Support Center let you know that this place is all about kids. Named for local developer and philanthropist Gene Glick, the Family Support Center was completed in late 2009 and is home to many Children’s Bureau programs, including:
  • Children's Shelter
  • CCDF (Child Care Development Fund)
  • Parents as Teachers
  • Project Safe Place
  • Supervised Visitation
  • Success by Six
This state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facility replaces the older building that previously housed the Family Support Center on the same grounds. One of just a handful of children’s shelters in the Midwest, the Gene Glick Family Support Center is the first of its kind in Indiana, offering preventive and support services for parents and caring for children in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The building includes many artistic elements with colorful tiles of children’s artwork on its walls and a dramatic sculpture titled “Metamorphosis” in the lobby, an inspiring reminder of Children’s Bureau’s life-changing programs and services. The full-size gymnasium and multi-purpose room is a space where kids in all Children’s Bureau programs can enjoy games and healthy living and fitness programs. Second-floor offices house the agency’s administrative and executive staff on-site.
The new building is green, too. LEED-certified, the Family Support Center has controlled lighting and thermal systems, special parking places for fuel-efficient cars and carpool vehicles, quick access to public transportation, and many other environmentally-friendly features. Children’s Bureau will also use the new building as an education tool for green living, cleaning and recycling.
Through the Gene Glick Family Support Center, Children’s Bureau provides at-risk families the tools they need in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable building — designed for the future of Indiana’s children.
