Indiana housing advocates say the Hoosier State faces a rental housing crisis with its eviction moratorium set to expire at the end of the month.

The Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition doesnt think the state has done enough to outline how it will protect people who may be at risk of being evicted.

A measure to restrict local governments from creating regulations on landlords passed out of the Indiana House Monday, despite pushback from several hundred housing, legal and other organizations.

Indianapolis will unroll a new plan to address eviction and other housing issues. It includes a partnership to connect residents with legal services.

Three of Indiana's biggest cities are in the top 20 in the country among comparably-sized communities for highest eviction rates.
