Our mission is to protect and improve the quality of life of persons in the City of Indianapolis.
In January, DBNS will launch a new continuous vacancy program that targets “the worst of the worst”—properties that have racked up multiple repair orders with no signs of compliance. 🏚️➡️🏠 Learn more on @wthrcom.bsky.social: www.wthr.com/article/news...
New program will target 150-200 vacant Indianapolis homes in 2026
The city is hoping a new “continuous vacancy program” will help longtime properties in disrepair come into compliance and become family homes.
