New program aims to help those living out of their vehicles in Indianapolis

- In a groundbreaking move, Indianapolis is set to debut a unique parking solution for individuals living in their vehicles. WTHR recently spoke with two residents who are thankful for this initiative.
In Noblesville, Ryan Warner drives around with every possession packed into a nine-year-old Toyota Corolla. The car has been Warner's transportation during the day and a place to sleep since May.
“It’s been a long 4 months. (There's) not much space to turn around really, but just enough for someone my size to spin around if needed," Warner said.
Warner earns $15.50 an hour at a fast-food restaurant in Westfield. But when Warner's hours got cut, deciding where to spend money became a daily dilemma.
“Do I want to be comfortable in my car? Do I want to save money to get out of it? It seems like an obvious answer, but living day-to-day makes it complicated,” Warner said.
This year, the Indianapolis “Point in Time” Count identified 1,700 unhoused individuals-but that number doesn’t include all the people living in vehicles. It's estimated nationally 100,000 people are living in their cars.
“They're not the folks you might think of when you hear 'homeless.' Vehicle residents often work in plain sight and struggle during the night,” said Elizabeth Friedland, from Safe Park Indy.
Friedland is heading up the new initiative, providing 10 parking spots at a northeast Indianapolis church, where qualified applicants may safely park overnight for up to 60 days.

It's going to get even worse when landlords are Rasing rent so many people can't afford to rent.
That has already happened. Its a sellers market. Government cannot control the price of housing.
find a roomate , that's what did to get out of my car
Rent increases because of taxes and insurances increases.
Hello internet, it's me ryan. Glad I was able to do the interview and give whatever information I could. If you're currently living in your car I'm more than happy to give whatever advice I can. so if there's questions don't be afraid to ask me.
I know you will progress in life, you are a brave young man! Wishing you well. ♥️
Who cares about loosers. # from me. Self-centered people deserve their life choices. White guy in car; not a conservative for sure. These people are selfish and do bear minimum.

Hi Ryan, I'm Patty. I became homeless after transitioning and ended up in Indy. I am a veteran so got help from the VA. Teamed up with another vet and got a place together. Be safe...Indy is so dangerous.
Hey Ryan! Your story broke my heart. I know you didn’t ask for advice, but if you are looking for a different with more hours - every Kroger is always hiring. Overnight stock positions get an extra $1 or so differential - I haven’t worked there in almost two years so it may have increased. Might help you if you want a different job or second job. I’m sending my best wishes, unfortunately I’m unable to help in a tangible way right now. ♥️
“I’m houseless, not homeless” I love that! Great attitude to have!
Lets talk about landlords purposely pushing tenants out an replacing them with immigrants
Where exactly do you get your information?
@@karenkoe7096 I don't need to get my info from anywhere I've seen it with my own eyes💯
I've seen it
Apparently @karenkoe has NOT seen the news or watched vids showing this in nearly ALL Blue/Left cities!!!
ALWAYS THE IMMIGRANTS NEVA THE GREEDY AMERICANS
Rents rising faster than paychecks putting people on the streets. Too much wealth in few hands by greed
Blame No One but the Democratic Party! PERIOD!
@@wileycoyote19 true they gave mega corporations/investors government subsidies to buy more real estate for profit squeezing the avg workers out.
@@wileycoyote19YOU DO REALIZE ALL THESE PPL WORK 2GETHA TO KEEP US DOWN? GOOD COP BAD COP ROUTINE
BLAME THE PPL WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE WEALTH STILL WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH A SYSTEM THAT CLEARLY DOESN'T WORK OR HELP.
This country is on a downward spiral like nothing I've seen. The fact they have to do this is due to the alarming amount of people living in their car is sickening. How about make housing more affordable. I can't wait until Holcomb is gone.
Vote Blue for affordable housing! Harris and Walz are going after conglomerates and corporations that have a stranglehold on rentals.
God bless everyone in these circumstances we should do all we can to help.
Your attitude is a great help. Kindness is the most valuable gift from people to those of us struggling. There are a lot of hateful people who enjoy adding to the misery.
ALL cities should have a program like this. No working person in this country should have to live in their car.
working or not working ... what does work have anything to do with it? everybody should have a place to go and call home.... let me guess from the work comment. your a boomer aint ya?
most people who make $30-$50 an hour are broke even ! sad world we live in. your in the same boat whether you work or not... 70% of all millionaires dont even consider themselves rich .. they know...
How sad.
Lmao 🤣 this is what the city has to offer to tax payers. Child support made me homeless for over 13 years now.
This is something, the bare minimum especially for the elderly that are really facing this crisis alone 😢
😢 wish others would do more. Sky hi rent prices make it hard.
vote red !
Rather odd, since I tried this and still can't get through the paperwork 😢
An 8 o'clock curfew really limits job availability.
Good job Ryan! I had to do that for 2 years in San Diego. Not easy at all. Not safe. It’s way too hot down south for that. I hope you find some friends to stay with like I did.
Wow a hole 10 spots..
Still it’s something.
God bless you Ryan
THANK YOU ❤ FOR THIS VIDEO 👍
Let me educate you. we have sent Ukraine over $298 billion dollars we could have eradicated homelessness in America and eradicated world hunger with that money. Estimation 178 billion dollars would have eradicated homelessness and hunger in America
That's why we need that $25000 for first-time home buyers Kamala's doing. It'll really help. This parking lot for people living out of cars is a good idea too. There should be more of this.
Cars are homes too. Good to see some accomodation to ensure people who have to use their car as a home to have safety
He makes $2 more than I make working out in the hot sun.
It's like he has no family at all. . . . Thats some n stuff
I can understand some of this. Oi😑
YOU PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS
Solar spoiler Corolla.

drive-in movie theater?
one big living room tv
@@DRE383that’d be sick tbh
This is a great sign of the strongest economy ever.Kamala forPresident💙💙💙
you have got to be kidding
@@heaven-is-real they are 100% correct. Biden-Harris has let millions of illegals into this country. There are tens of thousands of illegals taking up rental properties around Indy. Goto the hotel next to the Rockville road Sams club it’s full of illegals. Biden-Harris are forcing people to be homeless with the illegals and the inflations caused by their incompetence and woke ignorant policies.
When you attempt to rage bait but found more people agreeing with you.
@@supernova2034 truth telling is comforting to the soul brother 💙💙💙
This has more to do with greedy landlords than politicians.
They’re not “houseless”…they’re bums! How old is Ryan? Does he not have any family (especially his parents) to assist? Did he ever consider rooming with someone in an apartment? Does he not qualify for the city shelter? How did he get a car and insurance? Would he have saved more money to afford a low-income apartment if he used city transportation instead? After realizing life on his own is tough, did he ever consider joining the military to earn the GI Bill and tuition assistance to get a degree? A lot of unanswered questioned and most likely a lot of bad life decisions. Let’s not pretend people living in cars are unfortunate victims. This is a choice.
He is not a bum he is houseless you pos. Not everyone has family & for some people it is not a choice when greedy landlords keep raising the rent to an unaffordable price .
Why is he wearing a girls shirt
He makes more money than I do and I can afford 1200 a month on living…

He makes $15.50. It doesn’t say how many hours he gets a week. It doesn’t say if he had student loans. Doesn’t say if he has other debt.
@@franko8572 it doesnt say if he has a medical condition and shitty insursnce so its all out of pocket until maximum kicks in.
It doesnt say he can qualify for an apartment due to poor credit because of soul crushing debt or bankruptcy.
So many conditions can apply and these people just think everyone lives life like they do
Good for you. While you are riding on your high horse, you miss out on the education of being grateful and remain stuck at being hateful. Good luck to you.
He is not you. I think You’re being insensitive. Attitude like yours, is part of the problem 🤨😠
they fr interviewed a mf with a hazbin hotel pillow case
Yeah he likely got it from a donation box somewhere.
@@sugarfree8303nope, I bought it when I was living in my apartment. Back when I had enough money to spend on myself 😅.
I mean when I lost my apartment I took what I could 😅. That includes pillow cases.
rent a room , roomate
