Oppose SB 285 – Criminalizing Homelessness Harms Survivors

At YWCA Greater Lafayette, we see firsthand that domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness for women and children. Survivors often flee abuse with nowhere safe to go.

SB 285, which would make sleeping outside a Class C misdemeanor, would only increase the danger for survivors trying to escape violence.

Key concerns:
- Criminalizing homelessness punishes victims who are already fleeing trauma.
- A criminal record makes it even harder to secure safe, affordable housing.
- Indiana already lacks enough domestic violence shelter space and affordable housing to meet the need.
- Most survivors experience economic abuse, leaving them with limited financial options.

We are in a housing crisis. Survivors need safe shelter and supportive services, not arrest and incarceration. Policies like SB 285 risk forcing victims back into unsafe homes.

We urge lawmakers to vote NO on SB 285 and invest instead in housing and services that protect survivors and strengthen our community.

Last week, YWCA Greater Lafayette advocated at the Statehouse alongside Prosperity Indiana in opposition to SB 285, legislation that would criminalize homelessness and further harm our most vulnerable neighbors.

At YWCA Greater Lafayette, our mission is rooted in eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Criminalizing homelessness disproportionately impacts survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, many of whom face housing instability as they seek safety. Policies like SB 285 create additional barriers instead of pathways to stability and healing.

We are proud that our CEO, Lindsey Mickler, was in attendance, standing alongside partners and advocates to ensure survivor voices are represented in policy conversations that directly affect their lives.

Housing is safety. Safety is justice.
