The Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition is calling on the legislature to create a housing stability pilot fund to be added to the budget.
The Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition says 84% of families that are at risk of eviction haven't applied to rental assistance because they say that rental assistance program are dried up. They say that over 150,000 people have called 211 asking for help with housing. 17,000 of them haven't gotten the help they need.
They originally planned on doing it during the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday by testifying in support of Senate Bill 202. But that bill wasn't giving a hearing after it was assigned to a summer study committee. Courts would have been able to establish escrow accounts that the renter would have paid their rent in to. The court would then decide how that money would be used by the landlord.The Coalition say this crisis is something lawmakers need to address now, not next legislative session.
