Fair Housing Center Abruptly Loses Federal Grant, Braun Orders Ban on Transgender Athletes, Education Update from 2025 Legislative Session, Drug Overdose Deaths Drop in Midwest

The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana will lose nearly $50,000 in government funding after the Trump Administration decided to abruptly end one of their grants. Governor Mike Braun signed an executive order to ban transgender women and girls from playing sports. Lawmakers could advance bills on halting DEI programs, support for students who struggle learning math and new funding for charter schools. New data shows drug overdose deaths fell about four percent across much of the country – including in many parts of the Midwest.
