"I'm one paycheck away from homelessness."
A whopping 41% of households in Vanderburgh County struggle to pay for basic necessities. Just one obstacle—a health crisis, job loss or even a major car repair—can produce a ripple effect that can lead to eviction and homelessness.
Local prevention efforts include:
- Securing affordable child care
- Landlord mediation
- Rent and utility assistance
- Food assistance
- Connection to mental health and substance abuse treatment
