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.”

ECHO Housing & Community Development was contacted this morning by Officer Andrew Smith of the Evansville Police Department regarding an Evansville resident with seven minor children who had lost heat in their home. The family was attempting to reach their landlord to address the issue.
Officers Smith and Eastwood responded to the residence to check on the safety and well-being of the resident and her children. At the same time, ECHO coordinated directly with the landlord, who was experiencing travel limitations due to weather conditions and was unable to reach the home to repair the HVAC system.
Although the landlord had space heaters available, they were unable to transport them to the family. Officers Smith and Eastwood voluntarily stepped in, retrieving the heaters from the storage location and delivering them to the home - ensuring the family could remain safely housed and avoid displacement during extreme weather conditions.
This situation reflects the above-and-beyond service often provided by law enforcement in our community. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Evansville Police Department, the Crime Prevention Unit, and Officers Smith and Eastwood for their compassion, responsiveness, and commitment to protecting the well-being of Evansville residents.
Thank you! 💜🏠
