INDIANAPOLIS, IN – To help members and partners elevate issues of housing and economic opportunity in the 2024 election, Prosperity Indiana has released a set of new voter education and candidate engagement tools. These tools include new data on Indiana’s housing affordability crisis made available for the first time at the state House and Senate district level. These resources are part of Prosperity Indiana’s partnership with the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s Our Homes, Our Votes 2024 campaign.
Our Homes, Our Votes is a nonpartisan campaign to register, educate, and mobilize low-income renters and affordable housing advocates to vote. Renters, especially low-income renters, are underrepresented among voters. To build the political will for housing solutions, it is critical that organizations that work directly with low-income renters--including nonprofits, housing providers, and tenant associations--mobilize renters and other low-income people to vote. Prosperity Indiana is Indiana’s Our Homes, Our Votes affiliate organization.
The Our Homes, Our Votes resources below are meant to aid Indiana’s community economic development organizations, coalition partners, and other community members in voter registration, education, and candidate engagement. A pair of webinars and related slides from September 2024 provide an overview of the resources available. In addition, Prosperity Indiana has sent a questionnaire on housing and economic opportunity issues to all candidates for office running for Indiana Governor and U.S. House and Senate seats, and will publish the results at ProsperityIndiana.org in mid-October.
