• Indianapolis Housing Goals Survey

    Indianapolis is working to better understand what residents need, want, and can realistically pursue as they move toward stable housing, homeownership, and wealth-building. This survey helps the community and its partners understand where residents are on the housing ladder, what types of housing are needed, what price points may work, and which partners may be needed to help households take the next step. This survey does not guarantee eligibility for any program, home, rental unit, financial assistance, or housing opportunity. It helps the Housing Activation Team and Housing Delivery Team understand demand and plan better.
