Due to proposed changes to HUD's federal funding that slash support for evidence-based permanent housing and supportive solutions, 1,945 households in Indianapolis are in jeopardy of becoming homeless again in 2026.

"Work to end homelessness in Indianapolis faces significant challenges with new priorities for federal funding. The city is at risk of losing about $10 million designated for long-term housing programs – including permanent supportive housing and rapid-rehousing efforts...Indianapolis has hinged much of its plans to end homelessness on those permanent housing strategies, which have been shown to reduce chronic homelessness"

What can we do?
Call for Immediate Congressional Action
• Urge your representatives to include language in the FY26 appropriations bill directing HUD to renew all Continuum of Care (CoC) grants expiring in calendar year 2026 for a full 12 months. This builds on the FY24 two-year renewal option but makes it directive, not permissive, ensuring stability for communities.
Call for A Pragmatic, No-Cost Solution
• A one-year renewal is a modest, no-cost extension that preserves housing for tens of thousands of Americans. It gives Congress time to work with the Administration on thoughtful policy changes without destabilizing communities.
• With the loss of federal funding, local nonprofit organizations must rely on the generous donations of local supporters. Ensure organizations like Stopover can continue to house and support those experiencing homelessness in Indy! https://stopoverinc.org

Navigating the housing system can be difficult for anyone, especially young people who have had little experience or guidance in the process of attaining an apartment. Barriers such as limited credit history, discrimination based on age, s*x, or race, and an overall lack of affordable housing in Indy make finding a stable home exponentially difficult for our young people.

At Stopover, participants in our Transitional Living Program work closely with case managers to help them identify their housing goals, attain adequate employment, and navigate finding a place to call their own. Make a donation today to help us fight youth homelessness at stopoverinc.org! -shelter-connection-determination

Today is National “Love Is Kind” Day, and we are reminded of the many youth that come to our doors who are survivors of the worst kinds of cruelty, homeless only because others cannot accept who they are, who they choose love, and what they believe. We are grateful to be able to be a bit of kindness in these wonderful young people’s lives.

Teenagers that experience homelessness are far more likely to develop substance use disorders, mental health issues, fall behind on their education, and struggle with work and relationships. Not only that, but young people without a stable home are missing out on those vital experiences that shape who we become. At Stopover, we strive to alleviate the trauma of homelessness on our young people, offering them a safe place to heal, grow, and find stability. Our vision is that every individual that stops over moves into permanent housing with the skill and self-determination to embrace their potential and pursue healthy futures.
Help us continue to serve our young people in need by giving a gift today at stopoverinc.org.
