“There’s only 38 affordable and available homes for every 100 of the most vulnerable Hoosier families,”I told @FOX59’s @Hannah__Adamson.
“At the current rate of investments, it would take 70 and more years to be able to fill Indiana’s housing gap, and that’s if we don’t cut.”
Following the release of a new Prosperity Indiana report this week detailing housing affordability problems across Indiana, Hoosiers are calling on the governor's office to help address the housing affordability gap.

In 2023, landlords filed more than 71,000 eviction cases in Indiana, with more than 1/3 in Marion County. Tenant advocates tell @WTHRcom some property owners appear to be taking steps to avoid small claims courts. wthr.com/article/news/invest…

Dr. Chelsea Haring-Cozzi of @CHIPIndy (& @HoosierHousing Steering member) tells the #BeyondTheBridge audience that to advance solutions to homelessness in Indiana, advocates need to come together to tell #INLegis & Congress that #HousingFirstWorks!

At today’s screening of #BeyondTheBridge, @IndyMayorJoe announced “I am continuing my commitment to #HousingFirst and am answering the call.”
The Mayor announced a new City ‘Kitchen Cabinet’ to advance solutions to homelessness.
“Homelessness *is* solvable in Indianapolis.”

IN is 1 of just 6 states that don’t allow tenants to withhold rent if repairs are necessary or living conditions are subpar. When landlords aren’t “holding up their end of the deal” @AndyBeck14 said, tenants struggle to understand why IN law requires them to continue paying rent. – at Indianapolis, IN

Indianapolis has seen 16 evictions filed for every 100 renter households in the past year, more than 2X the average rate of 7.8 in cities tracked by @evictionlab. @IUPublicPolicy found just over half of the 2,207 TAP eviction cases studied were dismissed or avoided altogether.

“From a fiscal responsibility standpoint, something that doesn’t cost much is encouraging landlords to accept rental assistance & renters with barriers.
What *is* costly are efforts to criminalize homelessness and put burdens on our communities,” says @IHCDA’s Matt Rayburn.

“Johnson County is second behind Marion County in terms of corporate single-family homes for rent. Between 7-9% of all single-family homes in the Greenwood and Whiteland areas are owned by a corporate investor, according to the study.”
Housing is a quality of life issue, Miller said.This is because limited housing leads to longer commutes, more cost-burdened renters and homeowners and other compromises. It also affects the availability or quality of services and goods provided, she said. dailyjournal.net/2024/02/28/…

“This is not just a city of Indianapolis problem — this is a statewide problem with these companies that have been targeting Indiana for years because they see it as affordable housing options they can purchase quick & easy and very little accountability,”
