This week kicked off the official start of the 2025 legislative session. State Rep. Alex Burton (D-Evansville) has filed House Bill 1349, which would require the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) to provide detailed information on its housing stability programs within its annual report.
Burton released the following statement regarding HB 1349:
“With the skyrocketing cost of housing, many Hoosier families are struggling to find safe, quality and affordable homes. It’s crucial we have a clear understanding of how our existing housing programs are impacting families in need. To effectively address Indiana's housing shortage, we must increase state investment, continue to align housing and economic development efforts, and tailor programs to meet Hoosier’s unique needs. This particular piece of legislation will help us better understand existing state program effectiveness. And, if needed, we can make the necessary adjustments to best serve all Hoosiers and their housing needs, including first-time homebuyers.”

Burton released the following statement regarding today’s swearing-in ceremony:
"As a newly sworn-in state representative, I want families in Evansville and throughout Indiana to know that they have a champion at the table. Too many Hoosier families are struggling to get by, and our focus in the legislature ought to be about making life better for everyone, not further dividing our communities with hot-button issues that have little impact on their lives. From increasing access to safe, quality and affordable housing to creating pathways to better career opportunities and higher wages, we have our work cut out for us in the state legislature, and I'm ready to get to work.
"I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues in the Indiana House Democratic Caucus as well as lawmakers across the aisle to make Indiana a more prosperous, inviting state for all. It is an honor to serve House District 77 and an honor to be joined by my family today as I begin my new role."
