Housing in Crisis: Access, Affordability & Opportunity

Did you know Marion County accounts for nearly 40% of all evictions in Indiana? 

That reality demands action, collaborations, and bold solutions. 

You are cordially invited to join the Indianapolis Urban League for the 2025 Housing Convening

on Friday, November 14th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Martin University, 2185 North Sherman Drive

This important community-centered gathering brings together landlords, tenants, property managers, returning citizens, housing advocates, service providers and policymakers to address the urgent growing housing crisis in Indianapolis.

National housing expert Gregg Colburn, author of Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, will deliver the keynote address, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, to help drive a powerful dialogue examining root causes right here in our city.

The Housing Convening will offer practical strategies, resources, and opportunities to work together toward safe, affordable, quality housing for all.
