LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
MORE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INHP supports tax credits, appropriations, grants, loan funds or other mechanisms that bring additional resources to support the creation or preservation of affordable housing.
REAL ESTATE TAX/ASSESSED VALUATION RELIEF
INHP supports policy that offers solutions to curb increasing real estate tax obligation for various populations (i.e. seniors, veterans, families with low income) as home values have increased significantly.
INFORMED CONSUMERS / CONSUMER PROTECTIONS
INHP believes financial literacy, clear disclosures and consumer protections are critical to improve outcomes in housing stability and enhanced quality of life.
INHP is part of several networks where we can collaborate to advance our priorities.
AVAILABLE HOUSING RESEARCH
Research shows that access to affordable housing improves quality of life and that Indianapolis currently has a shortage of affordable options. Through research-based, data-driven partnerships, INHP is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.
