INDIANA – A total of $3,072,403 has been awarded to three projects in nine counties focused on combating rural homelessness.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced funding for the Supplemental Rural and Unsheltered Homelessness Notice of Funding Opportunity. This funding will be available over the next three years. Each of these projects leveraged housing resources through a collaborative application for Housing Stability Vouchers to HUD in partnership with IHCDA.
The following projects were awarded funding:
- Jackson County Unsheltered Housing
- Lafayette Transitional Housing Rapid Rehousing
- Porter Starke Services Permanent Supportive Housing

These grants and vouchers combine to create an innovative package of resources to help communities provide housing and supportive services to people in unsheltered settings and people experiencing homelessness in rural areas. Applicant communities were asked to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing unsheltered and rural homelessness that involves coordination with health care providers, other housing agencies such as public housing authorities, and people with lived experience.
