Task force recommends state cash, bad landlord crackdown, to ease housing crisis
“An interim study committee examining solutions to Indiana’s housing crisis on Thursday approved a lengthy list of recommendations for future legislation — including state funding for housing-related infrastructure and a vague pledge to hold accountable negligent landlords peddling “substandard” housing.”
This task force seemed destined to support the building and landlord special interests. Thanks to Senator Fady Qaddoura, Dee Ross, and those who testified on behalf of tenants and renter’s rights, the task force recommendations have meaningful suggestions that will, in time, change Indiana’s horrible housing landscape.
We’re cautiously optimistic that the recommendations become laws. And time will tell!
