Providing opportunity through housing for our community since 1991
At ECHO Housing & Community Development, we believe that improving lives starts with reducing barriers—barriers to housing, social well-being, and economic opportunity.
Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. Guided by that belief, ECHO works with compassion, advocacy, and innovation to help individuals and families overcome obstacles that stand in the way of housing and stability.
Through eight housing-centric programs, we provide a continuum of care that addresses the diverse needs of people experiencing homelessness or housing instability. From emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing and prevention to affordable rental homes, each program plays a vital role in creating a stronger, more resilient community.
Located in Vanderburgh County – Evansville, Indiana, ECHO extends its services throughout southwest Indiana. In addition to our federally funded programs, we operate as a Community Development Corporation (CDC) by revitalizing neighborhoods. We collaborate with a wide network of community partners to advance our mission, vision, and core values—promoting housing equity, fostering economic mobility, and strengthening communities from the ground up.
Together, we’re building more than housing. We’re building opportunity, stability, and hope.
I spent years being homeless, on the streets, in shelters and living in parks. I couldn’t believe it when I was informed that I would be moving into my own apartment. I pray every night, thanking ECHO Housing staff for the opportunity they have given me. I am truly blessed.
I ended up on the streets with nowhere to go and was becoming hopeless. As a Veteran, I knew there was help somewhere. Finally, Echo Housing became a part of my life and helped me get my own place and things for my home. My whole life was changed. It has been a blessing.
I was homeless, living on the streets for 8 years when ECHO Housing found me. I now have a home of my own.
I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I had made some bad choices that left me homeless on the streets. If it wasn’t for ECHO Housing, I am not sure I would have made it.
I spent 31 years in prison. When I was released, I had nowhere to go and I felt like no one wanted to give me a chance. ECHO Housing helped me transition back into society.
Finally Home!!
So excited to finally have a place for my kids and I to call home! It’s been a long journey! So very grateful to everyone at ECHO for helping me make this happen! You guys are awesome!
“My caseworker Christa taught me how to use some of the functions on my new Phone!”
“I’ve met one of my goals by working a full-time job for almost 2 months after not working at all in 10 years.”
“Being given this golden opportunity—a chance at permanent housing and a program that truly uplifts lives—has been a major blessing. The selfless, non-judgmental support from ECHO Housing staff restored my hope and guided me toward a better path. I may not call myself a success yet, but I’ve improved in so many ways, and for that, I will always be grateful.”
A day filled with knowledge, collaboration, and inspiration. Honored to be part of both the Spring Social Work Conference and the NAMI Mental Health & Criminal Justice Summit 💜 ... See MoreSee Less

We’re grateful for the opportunity to spend time with the River City Veteran Resource Group and share more about ECHO and HVRP. Connecting with those who serve our community—and supporting the work they do—is always an honor. 💜
The RCVRG meets in person to provide information and further discussion on Veteran related topics including, but not limited to housing instability & homelessness, employment opportunities, accessing health & other benefits, navigating disability compensation, suicide prevention, accessing essential services (food, clothing, emergency shelter), registered service animals, mental health, substance use and treatment, survivor’s benefits, and much more!
If you are a Veteran or Veteran service provider and would like to be included in future meetings and correspondence, please email: rivercityveteranresourcegroup@gmail.com

As part of our Collective Action Network (CAN) work and the Social Ecosystem Mapping initiative we launched in late 2024, we are intentionally highlighting a community partner each month to reflect the reality that meaningful community change does not happen through a single organization - it happens through connected systems working together. The aggregate network data shows that collaboration, trust, and relationship strength are critical drivers of impact, helping identify service gaps, reduce duplication, and strengthen coordinated responses across housing, health, safety, engagement, and neighborhood development efforts.
By spotlighting partners, we help the community better understand how organizations are connected, elevate shared successes, and reinforce the collaborative infrastructure that makes collective impact possible. These features also recognize the organizations working alongside us while demonstrating to residents, stakeholders, and funders that progress is being built through coordinated, cross-sector action - not isolated programs. Highlighting partners ultimately helps tell the broader story of CAN: that strong relationships are infrastructure, and lasting change happens when communities work together.
This month, we’re celebrating our partnership with Leadership Everyone—an organization that helps our community grow by developing leaders and creating spaces where collaboration thrives. Stay tuned as we explore how our shared values and efforts come together to serve our community. 💜
