Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority

Today: The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority along with partner agencies across the state are seeking volunteers to conduct the one night Point-in-Time count of the homeless population on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 so we’re speaking with Grace Beyond Borders founder and executive director Marcus Martin about the work his organization is doing to help combat homelessness in the Region. But up first, Indiana University Northwest Assistant Professor of Economics Micah Pollak, Ph.D. joins us to discuss his new blog The Region Economist. The blog is for economic data and analysis focused on the Region. One of his latest posts provides interesting statistics about population migration patterns including here are all of our new neighbors moving from. All of that on this edition of Regionally Speaking.
