The State of Indiana, through Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA), is using a portion of Indiana’s Hardest Hit Funds to demolish blighted and abandoned homes that are beyond repair.

The goal is not simply to demolish abandoned homes, but to stabilize property values in Indiana communities.

The partnership between IHCDA and Indiana municipalities, like the City of Evansville, allows communities to demolish blighted properties and offer a variety of end uses for the newly cleared properties, including green space and redevelopment.
