The application to apply will be available online beginning on July 13, 2020 at 9:00 am EST.

Additional information for renters can be found here: English | Spanish

Additional information for landlords can be found here: English | Spanish 

Applications will be accepted through www.IndianaHousingNow.org beginning July 13, 2020 at 9:00 am Eastern time.

Indiana will continue the stay on evictions until July 31, 2020.

In the meantime, Indiana residents unable to make their rent payment should speak with their landlord and request a payment plan. Additional resources, and answers to frequently asked questions, can be found in the Coronavirus Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Guide.
