IJP joins Grassroots Group in Advocating for More Housing Protections for Moms and Babies.

IJP is proud to be a part of the Housing Equity for Infant Health Initiative, led by The Grassroots Maternal Child Health Coalition and several partners. Read more about it here! From the press release:

As part of the Housing Equity for Infant Health Initiative, the Indiana Justice Project will lead a team focused on interventions in the legal system. It will combine “know your rights” education, direct legal services, strategic litigation, and advocacy to improve both housing stability and housing conditions for pregnant Hoosiers.

“Too often families facing eviction or housing loss do not know their legal rights or how to enforce them,” said Adam Mueller, executive director of IJP. “And in many ways the current legal framework around rental housing in Indiana falls short of protecting those rights. IJP is honored to lead the health-justice intervention as a part of this project. It will allow us to develop new legal materials to empower families as well as identifying legal and policy changes to decrease housing insecurity.”
