Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thrive West Central Housing Resource Hub?

The Thrive West Central Housing Resource Hub is an innovative initiative aimed at addressing housing challenges and creating high-impact solutions for our communities in West Central Indiana. The hub takes a data-driven approach, leveraging the Housing Optimization through Market Empowerment (H.O.M.E.) Method, to analyze market potential, identify catalyst sites, and develop a housing production pipeline that meets the needs of our region.

The Housing Resource Hub focuses on all housing types, including workforce housing strategies, low to moderate-income housing, senior housing, and market-rate housing developments. Our goal is to provide a range of housing options that cater to the diverse needs of our residents and contribute to a balanced and thriving community.

We understand the concerns about preserving the character of neighborhoods and communities. The Housing Resource Hub is committed to ensuring responsible development that aligns with the unique identity of each area. Our data-driven approach ensures that housing solutions are right-sized to the market potential, maintaining a balanced mix of housing types while respecting the existing fabric of neighborhoods.

We recognize that housing development may put strain on infrastructure and public services. The Housing Resource Hub works in collaboration with local governments and stakeholders to identify and address infrastructure needs, such as transportation, utilities, and community facilities. By focusing on high-impact strategies and engaging in public-private partnerships, we ensure that infrastructure keeps pace with housing development.

The Housing Resource Hub is dedicated to improving housing accessibility and empowering individuals. Through programs such as down payment assistance, home repair, and credit improvement initiatives, we aim to support local residents in achieving their dream of homeownership. Additionally, by jumpstarting the housing market, the hub creates economic opportunities, attracts quality developers, and enhances the overall quality of life in our communities.

The Housing Resource Hub plays a vital role in supporting local employers by increasing the availability of quality housing options for employees. Accessible and affordable housing can attract and retain a talented workforce, boosting economic growth and strengthening the local business community. Thrive West Central actively collaborates with employers to understand their needs and develop customized housing solutions that align with their workforce requirements.

Realtors, banks, and lenders are essential partners in our efforts to expand housing opportunities. Thrive West Central welcomes their involvement and collaboration in various capacities, such as providing guidance on housing market dynamics, offering financial products that support homeownership, and assisting with the development process. A unique feature of our initiative will be a data-driven platform that connects residents and employees seeking to buy a home or undertake some other wealth building activity to access resources, such as goal setting, financial education, down payment assistance and other key tools via a mobile app. Local partners who join the platform will be invited to join the platform and connect. We encourage interested professionals to reach out to us directly to explore partnership opportunities.

We value the input and involvement of residents and stakeholders in shaping the future of housing in our communities.
