Show Notes
Advocates and people in recovery protested at the Indiana Statehouse against two bills: one criminalizing public camping, targeting homelessness, and another tightening rules on the states needle exchange program. The homelessness bill passed, despite critics concerns about lack of support options, especially in rural areas. The needle programs extension was cut in half, with new rules feared to deter people from seeking help. Law enforcement and housing leaders warned of potential jail overcrowding and called for funding real solutions like more shelter spots and job programs.
