Indiana adds 219 homes for workers and veterans as Washington reviews building rules
Indiana is using READI investments to expand affordable workforce housing, with Fort Wayne’s 74-home Victory Gardens community breaking ground and three Rushville-area developments opening or advancing to add 145 homes. The projects combine varied home types with infrastructure and, in Fort Wayne, homebuyer-preparation support. Indiana has also doubled resources for nonprofits serving veterans, while reporting an 18.7% decline in veteran homelessness from 2024 to 2025. In Washington, a state housing accelerator is examining construction costs, permitting delays and regulations that could be streamlined to increase housing production; final recommendations are expected in June 2027.
