Homes provide us with stability and security, a sense of place. For thousands of Indy residents, that basic human need is virtually inaccessible due to a myriad of factors including; affordability, displacement as a result of redevelopment and debilitating rental policies. In our three-part discussion series, Shelter, we will explore the complex issue of housing in Indianapolis from the perspective of renters, developers and policy experts.

Each virtual event in this series has a separate registration so join us for any of them or all of them.
