Northwest Indiana Reinvestment Alliance keeps homeowners on track
April 1, 2026
From a cluster of small offices in Hammond, Toyia Moore and her team at the Northwest Indiana Reinvestment Alliance are teaching people across Lake County how to manage their finances and, hopefully, own their own homes and businesses.
The agency, launched in 1989, works with banks and other lenders, county officials and other nonprofits on a sizable mission: improving the lives of Northwest Indiana residents through financial and small business education, so they can get affordable housing.
“Lake County has a big issue with housing,” Moore said. “Foreclosure numbers are increasing; evictions are increasing because the cost of living is increasing. It all boils down to financial education, awareness and resources.”
According to property data company ATTOM, Indiana was seventh in the nation for foreclosures in January.
