OHR INCORPORATED | Application Preview
OHR Incorporated is a non-profit startup aiming to support older teens in the foster care system by providing a safe environment where they can acquire essential life skills for a productive future. The organization is seeking government grants to purchase land and build a facility dedicated to this mission.
Once operational, OHR plans to become state-funded by collaborating with county foster and court programs to ensure a steady influx of youth participants. The state will financially support the program based on the number of teens in care.
The need for this program is urgent, as Indiana currently faces significant challenges in finding suitable placements for older teens in foster care. OHR aims to fill this gap by offering a safe and educational environment tailored to older teens.
In terms of competition, OHR recognizes that there are only a few Independent Living Programs for youth in Indiana. The organization plans to collaborate with local colleges, state agencies, and counties to better address the placement needs of older teens.
OHR's competitive edge lies in its flexible approach. Unlike other programs that impose strict rules, OHR will implement thorough evaluations to admit only low-risk behavioral teens. This strategy empowers participants by allowing them to work, pursue their education, and develop personal success plans as they transition out of state assistance.

Funding Usage
We are a non- profit start up. We seek to provide older teens in the foster system a safe place to grow and become equipped with essential life skills for assurance of a productive and successful future. We need to purchase land, and build a site.

Business Plan
Our business will be essentially state funded once we are up and operating. We will work with all county foster and court programs to insure that our program has the needed number of youth to support the program. The state would pay our business so much youth since they would be a ward of the state. Placements, and or foster care for older teens is one of Indiana's greatest challenges at the moment. Finding placement for older teens has been proven difficult for placing foster agencies. We would provide a safe, educational program for older teens in the foster or youth systems.

Self Identified Competition
The state of Indiana has only a few select youth Independent Living Programs like the one we would offer. Our goal is to partner with the three local colleges, the state of Indiana, and Indiana counties to help meet the direct need of placement for older teen in the state system. A lot of Indiana Independent Living programs start off with quite restrictive measures. Our program will run detailed evaluations per client that would allow our program to only take in low risk behavioral teens, allowing them the freedoms to get a job, complete the high school education, and create a success plan for after aging out of the state assisted program.
