INDIANAPOLIS — The nation’s top housing leader made a pit stop in Indianapolis to discuss affordable places for seniors to live and youth to learn.

Ben Carson, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development secretary, traveled to the Circle City to tour a development under construction and discuss increasing help for low-income families.

Carson was on the city’s east side to look over a project that will benefit families and children. He toured the PR Mallory site on the 3000 Block of East Washington Street with Sen. Mike Braun, R-Indiana.
