Teams announced for the 9th Annual Indiana Permanent Supportive Housing Institute

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) and Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) announced today that teams from six Indiana communities will be participating in the 2018 Indiana Supportive Housing Institute. Communities include: Bloomington, Johnson County, Kokomo, Lebanon, New Albany and two groups in Indianapolis.

“The Institute continues to be an extraordinary opportunity for these organizations to develop detailed, individualized supportive housing plans,” said Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch who serves as IHCDA’s board chair. “It also provides a network of support for housing partners so they can better navigate the process of developing permanent supportive housing.”

Over the next five months, these 7 teams will work closely with IHCDA and CSH through a series of targeted training and group exercises. They will also be provided technical assistance and presented with pre-development financing opportunities. The Institute will culminate with the Finale in May where teams will present their plans to a group of public and private investors.

Permanent supportive housing, or housing first, also provides support services for individuals suffering from drug addiction.
