We heard from some Section 8 tenants recently who said they haven’t gotten their utility assistance from the Indianapolis Housing Agency for February. We reached out to IHA and city officials multiple times asking what tenants should know if they haven’t received their utility funds, but did not receive a response. Tenants who said they’ve tried contacting IHA said they couldn’t get answers either. So we reached out to the utility companies for more information. Here’s what you should know.
