Description

The availability of safe, affordable, and quality housing plays a critical role in economic growth and quality of life. Without it, residents may experience housing instability, financial hardship, health issues, and limited economic mobility. Moreover, these challenges experienced by individuals and families also impact businesses as they face difficulty recruiting and retaining employees. As West Central Indiana seeks to reverse its trend of population decline, the region must have adequate housing to meet the demands of current and prospective residents at their various stages of life and income levels. Thrive West Central conducted and released a comprehensive analysis of the housing inventory throughout Clay, Montgomery, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, and Vigo counties in October 2022 and also held a kick-off meeting in November of 2022 called Housing 101 for Regionalists. Thrive would like to invite you and anyone interested in housing to come and explore our Housing Analysis in greater detail as we create the next steps to advance housing throughout the West Central Indiana region.
