The Elevator
Is Open!!
time to boiler up!
The boiler at Lucille Raines Residence was leaking and could not be repaired. For the well being of the residents and by law, it had to be replaced.
Prayerfully consider a donation to this necessary project.
Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much.
Please mark your generous donations with
“boiler or as needed”.
Bringing Hope and New Life
- From its inception in 1977, the Lucille Raines Residence (LRR) has sought to be one of God’s instruments to lift people up and help them rebuild their lives.
- LRR is a safe place for people recovering from addiction to establish a solid foundation from which to move forward in life. This is our primary mission and the reason we exist.
- Lucille Raines Residence has been and will continue to be one of the primary missional projects of The United Women in Faith of Indiana (formerly The United Methodist Women of Indiana), whose commitment to this transformational ministry of addiction recovery has brought hope and new life to thousands of people from all across Indiana.
Hoosiers are struggling with addiction.
Once a Lucille Raines Resident in recovery herself, Mariea is now the Program Coordinator at the facility.
Raines offers a safe place, a supportive network, and a community connection for the residents in order for them to take the next step towards reclaiming their lives.
Life At Lucille Raines Residence
Located in downtown Indianapolis at 947 N. Pennsylvania St., Lucille Raines Residence (LRR) is known as a “three-quarter house” for recovering addicts in transition after in-patient treatment. We offer 49 private rooms on five floors in the former Nottingham Court Hotel. Our location is within walking distance, or on public transportation routes, of several employment opportunities.

Life At Raines (continued)
LRR is located in the old Nottingham Court Hotel. It was built in the 1920s and while it definitely requires maintenance, repairs, and upgrades, it is a wonderful temporary home for healing and recovery. Each resident has their own private room and there are a few community spaces where they can relax together, workout, cook meals, and gather.
