Federal Aid For Homelessness In Indiana

April 20, 2021

$100 million from the federal government will be spread out to more than a dozen cities in Indiana to go towards efforts around homelessness.

Today we talk to community leaders tackling the complex issues surrounding homelessness to find out how they plan to use that money. And we catch up on how things have gone for shelters and organizations who have helped those experiencing homelessness during the pandemic.

We also hear from a city official in Fort Wayne about how they’re handling issues aroun homelessness, and vaccine distribution.
