$12 Million for Housing, Holcomb Signs Contraceptive Access Bill, Lawmakers Reflect on Education Bills, Low Success Rates for Community College

The City of Indianapolis announced yesterday it received roughly twelve million dollars to support homelessness and housing initiatives. The governor signed a bill Monday that requires hospitals to ensure Medicaid members have the option during a delivery visit to get a long-acting reversible contraceptive — also known as a LARC. Lawmakers passed a flurry of bills this year that will have a wide impact on education in Indiana, including efforts to promote work-based learning and advance policies for school curricula. New federal data estimates that fewer than 1 in 10 Indiana community college students go on to earn bachelor's degrees.
