A Tool You Can Use
A comprehensive local housing strategy provides a guiding framework that identifies and coordinates key policy tools to achieve a locality’s objectives.

The Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition Urges You To Contact Your Legislators Take action TODAY to ask your state legislators to support Senate Bill 277 and make sure it gets a hearing in the Senate Committee on Local Government. This bill would make it so that if a landlord refuses to make necessary health and safety repairs, the tenant can pay their rent to the clerk of the court instead to incentivize the landlord to follow the law. Without this law, many tenants are suffering in silence or being evicted. Contact your senators and representatives today. To learn more about this issue in Indiana, check out this short documentary produced by Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition Steering Committee members, the Greater Indianapolis Multifaith Alliance.
