Indy’s Homelessness Numbers and Hope | Indianapolis News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Indy’s homelessness numbers tick up slightly, but a major new program is making real progress—getting people off the streets and into apartments, even if it’s taking longer than expected. With over 1,800 people without homes, the Streets to Home Indy initiative, funded with $8.1 million, has already slashed outdoor sleeping by 18% and is on track to end chronic homelessness by 2028. Meanwhile, hundreds of shelter beds sit unused—many reserved for specific groups—highlighting the need for more flexible, inclusive housing. A new Housing Hub with 150 beds and on-site navigators is set to open next year, offering a crucial step toward permanent solutions.
