Moving Forward 2020 Program
From J. Jacob Sipe, Executive Director at IHCDA
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities face a daunting task trying to locate affordable housing. Sufficient housing options are scarce in most communities, and those that do exist often fail to provide any real opportunity for community inclusion. As a result, many of these individuals are deprived of the ability to choose where and how they want to live.
To address this need, IHCDA is utilizing our Moving Forward 2020 program to provide integrated affordable housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Moving Forward 2020 blends affordable housing with transportation, energy, and technology solutions.
At our October board meeting, the IHCDA Board of Directors approved financing for two innovative developments: North End Apartments and Passage.

I would like to thank Evan Thie who has done an extraordinary job of leading the Moving Forward program for us at IHCDA. I also want to thank our partners at ESN, FSSA, subject matter experts, and our two teams this year for their hard work and collaboration to provide integrated affordable housing for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In other news, I want to remind everyone that the state’s Rental Assistance Portal is still accepting applications. For more information, and for details on how to apply online or over the phone, please visit: www.indianahousingnow.org.
As always, please contact me or a member of the IHCDA team if there is anything we can do to assist you or your organization. We are #INthistogether.
