ICYMI...the Far Eastside Quality-of-Life plan is now live! Last week neighbors and community partners gathered to celebrate the completion of this year-long planning process. For twelve months, neighbors have given of their time, expertise and knowledge to establish priorities, that will guide investment and decision-making for the years to come, ensuring neighborhood voices are at the center of future neighborhood investment.

Congratulations to CAFE, the Far Eastside Community Council, and the entire Far Eastside neighborhood on this milestone! Learn more here: https://ow.ly/VMoh50ZaIZX

What does it take to change a housing system?

It takes more than building homes.

It takes coordination, capital, and commitment.

LISC Indianapolis is launching a new housing strategy focused on:
• Preserving affordable homes before they’re lost
• Supporting local developers to scale solutions
• Unlocking capital to accelerate production

Because housing stability is the foundation for everything else.

Indianapolis is at a turning point.

Housing costs are rising. Supply isn’t keeping up. And too many families are being priced out of stability.

Today, LISC Indianapolis is launching The Recommitment, a bold strategy to meet this moment by:

✅ Preserving what’s at risk
✅ Building what’s needed
✅ Strengthening the systems behind it all

With a goal to raise $100M and support 1,600+ housing units, this is about more than housing; it’s about the future of our neighborhoods.

We’re not doing it alone. And we can’t.
