In SVdP Indy’s 75-year history, there’s never been a more important time to love our neighbors. Indiana has an estimated 5,625 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2020. Of those, 482 were family households, 530 were veterans, 266 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 403 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The impact of homelessness on education and learning is equally sobering. An estimated 18,252 public school students experienced homelessness over the course of the year. Of that total, 257 students are unsheltered, 2,268 in shelters, 1,573 were in hotels/motels, and 14,154 were doubled-up, according to U.S. Department of Education data ( 2018-2019 school year).
Bottom line: The needs are great—and growing every day. But, together, we can make a difference.
