Our office and the Midwest Region welcomed federal HUD leaders to Indianapolis Sept. 22–23 for the inaugural Faith in Action Summit.

Nearly 400 Indiana faith communities were represented alongside government and housing leaders to address Indiana’s shortage of more than 137,000 affordable, available rental homes for extremely low-income households.

Through Indiana’s Faith-Based Institutions Initiative, the Office of Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is helping houses of worship access resources, navigate government programs, and connect with housing professionals to move local projects forward for Hoosiers.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
