Landlord Mitigation Fund Update
In 2018, the City of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Continuum of Care (CoC), and Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention (CHIP) partnered to pilot the Supportive Housing Landlord Guarantee Program (a.k.a. the Landlord Mitigation Fund). The program provided financial support to landlords who rented to individuals experiencing homelessness to offset costs if damages occurred. We’ve learned a lot during the pilot phase and are working to refine and relaunch the program as part of our HomeNow rehousing initiative. As we transition, we have temporarily paused this fund and are currently not accepting referrals. We appreciate your patience as we work to strengthen this program and align it with our collective rehousing efforts.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work to achieve the vision that “everyone has the right to be housed and connected to care.” Our landlord partners are a HUGE part of this effort, and we look forward to continuing to enhance our approaches.
We create collaborative housing solutions to drive community change.
CHIP - Coalition for Homelessness Intervention & Prevention is the only organization in Indianapolis driving a system-wide, community response to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
Through leadership and collaboration, CHIP:
Secures funding for housing and services
Manages and analyzes data collected by homeless providers
Advocates for policy change at the local and national levels
Supports community partners as we work together to end homelessness
CHIP board and staff members believe that successful efforts toward ending homelessness require the collective talents, resources, and commitment of the entire Indianapolis community. No one group or individual has the ability to address these issues alone. We need your help to create collaborative housing solutions to drive community change in Indianapolis.

Coordinated Entry Housing Needs Assessments during COVID-19
The Indianapolis Coordinated Entry System (CES) provides a structured process for entry, assessment, scoring, prioritization, determining eligibility, and referral for homeless housing and services. The goal is to efficiently and fairly allocate resources by prioritizing severity of service needs and vulnerability using policies established by the Indianapolis Continuum of Care (CoC) in accordance with the Indianapolis CoC Written Standards.
