The Notre Dame Student Policy Network is a student-run organization offering undergraduates the opportunity to engage in public policy research in real-world settings.
The Student Policy Network will present its research and analysis on Indianapolis's current lack of tenant protections for low-income renters. The project includes research and analysis on the factors inhibiting tenants from receiving adequate protections. Specifically, the report will cover eviction court proceedings, the impact of out-of-state hedge fund companies, and the enforcement of habitability statutes. The purpose of this research will be to offer alternative policy recommendations and contribute to the greater conversation surrounding housing law in the state of Indiana.
