26 INDIANAPOLIS REGIONAL CENTER PLAN 2020 PLANNING DOWNTOWN�fS FUTURE TODAY LIVING DOWNTOWN 8.  HUMAN SERVICES AND HEALTH AND WELLNESS The Regional Center has for many years seen a concentration of human, social and health facilities.  Its central location and its focus for the local bus system have made it a logical place to locate services.  Issues discussed include homelessness, community or neighborhood services, public services and childcare needs. The Coalition for Homeless Intervention and Prevention (CHIP) participated in a 1999-2000 homeless survey that found approximately 15,000 people were homeless each year in Marion County including 30 percent children and 40 percent families.  3,500 people were homeless on any one night.  A few hundred individuals were long-term homeless with mental or substance abuse problems. The Indianapolis Housing Task Force's Blueprint to End Homelessness proposed an increase of 12,500 housing units over the next decade for those who make 30 percent or less of the county median income, 1,700 of these units over the next five years, with needed social services for these units and an existing 400 households currently in low income housing.  Much of this housing will be rehabilitated apartments with rent subsidies.  Needed social services have been identified and include employment, childcare counseling.  Most of this housing and services will be located in the inner city neighborhoods.   Some shelters and services are in the Regional Center.  Downtown shelters will reconfigure over time to housing when possible.  Support also has been expressed for the City to work with human service providers to accommodate neighborhood concerns, potentially through new zoning classifications and zoning development standards for facility operations and design.

The need for a judicial center separate from the City-County Building has been the subject of much discussion over the years, as courtroom and courts administrative space needs have grown and more recently the subject of a study of a special Justice Center Task Force.  The task force study identified the need for a 700,000 square feet center costing approximately $100 million. Affordable, quality dependent care (childcare and elder care) is an essential amenity for Downtown residents and workers. Eli Lilly and Company employee childcare center
