The waitlist for housing for the homeless population in Indianapolis is more than 1,500 names deep. The IMPD Homeless Unit is working to keep those on the list safe while they wait.
INDIANAPOLIS — According to IMPD leadership, the lack of affordable housing in Marion County is playing a major role in homelessness.
WRTV recently rode along with McPherson and Tom Tyson as they did their weekly checks on different homeless camps. Smiley said the department partners with the non-profit organization, The Pour House, to lend a hand to those needing housing, mental health treatment and healthcare.Right now, the organizations have 1,500 homeless on a housing waitlist."Man the waiting list is just so long. I am like when is this going to happen. How much do we have to go through," Clifford Massey said."It's just rough on us out here," Massey said.
"If you are on city property, if you are on a right away, then I am not denying your ability to use that area," Smiley said."They are allowed to be there and I can't as a police officer force them to move from that spot unless I can permanently house them immediately and that's just not going to happen. There is no housing."
