Signature Program
Indiana Permanent Supportive Housing Institute
In 2008, IHCDA and CSH launched the annual Indiana Permanent Supportive Housing Institute to create housing with wraparound services for the most vulnerable unhoused Hoosiers. Teams consisting of developers, property managers, and service providers receive over 80 hours of training and have access to funding to each develop a unique project concept.
Reduction in the number of chronically homeless individuals in Indiana: 40%
Future Focus
Jacob Sipe
Executive Director
As we recover from the pandemic, housing stability will be a main priority as we move forward and create a safe place for Hoosiers to live. At all stages of life, housing security is critical for success. Our goal for the next several years is to promote self-sufficiency and housing opportunities to strengthen communities.

The Queen sisters at Four Rivers
The Queen sisters reside in a property managed by Four Rivers, which provides them the ability to live with each other and in their hometown, with close proximity to family. It has been a wonderful experience for the staff and families involved to keep the Queen sisters together, and secure housing stability to ensure future success.
Billy Young
Billy Young was homeless until he found a permanent home at Crawford Apartments in Bloomington, Indiana. He restores bicycles and donates them to persons experiencing homelessness. He is extremely humble and downplays the work he does and time he devotes to helping others. He even hand-made a sign beside his front door which reminds him every time he leaves his apartment:. “I WILL HELP SOMEONE TODAY. NO EXCUSE”; and that is exactly what he does.
