Indiana’s ability to retain and attract talent is improved when its communities are able to develop their unique sense of place, public amenities, and one-of-a-kind experiences. CreatINg Places empowers Hoosiers to play a role in achieving community improvements and building community pride.

In 2016, the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA), in partnership with Patronicity, developed CreatINg Places, a place-based crowdgranting program. The goal of CreatINg Places is to assist Indiana communities in funding place-based projects that highlight and build upon a community’s identity and strengths, improving quality of life and enhancing the quality of place for residents across the state. Since 2016, CreatINg Places has supported projects in 72 of Indiana’s 92 counties, with projects in 114 unique communities across the state.
