A SAFE PLACE TO RISE AGAIN
More than shelter.
A pathway forward.
Next L.E.V.E.L. Family Shelter is a Georgia nonprofit corporation developing its intended first location in Indianapolis. Our long-range vision is a Family Restoration & Empowerment Campus where families experiencing homelessness can rebuild with structure, support, and hope.
We are currently in formation and development and are not yet operating a public shelter. Planned services and facilities are subject to funding, governance approval, property readiness, licensing, insurance, and applicable law.
THE FOUNDER'S VISION
A place where beautiful memories outweigh the pain.
The vision is not simply to provide a room. It is to surround every family with dignity, belonging, beauty, and reminders that their story is still being written.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Vision shaped by faith, dignity, and legacy.
Gina Staton founded Next L.E.V.E.L. Family Shelter from a deeply held belief that a family's current situation should never define its final destination. Her vision reaches beyond temporary shelter toward a beautiful, structured community where parents and children can heal, grow, prepare, restore, unlock their potential, shine, and inspire.
“I never dreamed of building a shelter. I dreamed of building a place where families would create memories so beautiful that one day they would outweigh the pain that brought them here.”
