A Proud Supporter of the Fair Housing Program
We encourage and support the nation’s affirmative housing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or familial status.
Get Social with Us
Everyday our frontline staff works to help those previously experiencing homelessness accomplish goals. Individually or as a household. During a visit today, these ”rules” were posted in one of our family’s homes. We love to see a household work together as a team!
ECHO Housing CEO, Savannah Wood, joined members of the General Samuel Hopkins Chapter, DAR this Veterans Day weekend to discuss Veteran homelessness in the community and what ECHO Housing is doing to combat the issue.
ECHO Housing wants to thank multiple organizations and individuals that hosted and attended the event: DAR Regent - Pat Rogan and member, Sheila Reid.
Current and incoming Genealogy Directors from the Henderson County Public Library - Nancy Voyles & Glenn Riggs.
The Henderson Mayor - Steve Austin.
Henderson Circuit Judge, Family Court - David Curlin.
It takes the greater community to raise awareness and address the barriers associated with those experiencing homelessness.
Through partnerships, collaboration and support, the ECHO Housing vision can become a reality - providing communities where everyone has a place to call home.
Thank you Savannah Wood

We want to thank members of the community who visited GaylaCake and donated to ECHO Housing! Gayla was able to present a check in support of Lucas Place, our permanent supportive housing program for formerly homeless families with minor children. This donation will go toward the purchase of a playground for the children that call Lucas Place home. Thank you!!
Hi, Pat, Congratulations! Your commitment to working on behalf of the community in so many ways is just amazing, and we applaud you for this and all of your other good works! Much love, Trudy and Abbey😍😍
We are excited to collaborate for this project - bringing food and other essential items to the residents of Jacobsville.After months of searching, we're excited to announce the opening of a new retailer to provide fresh foods and affordable essentials in the Jacobsville food desert.
Dollar General agreed to invest in the roughly 11,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space at Evansville’s newest mixed-use, workforce housing development, The Forge on Main—and add their differentiated DG Market. This store will provide dairy, fresh meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen and canned vegetables, grains and other foods—in addition to the everyday household items customers trust them to provide. The addition of this store further supports Dollar General’s commitment to offer fresh produce in more than 10,000 total stores.
Pulling this all together has been a collaboration between ECHO Housing, House Investments and, of course, Dollar General.
Annual Veteran Stand Down Event!
Join the ECHO Housing team in spreading details and awareness about the Annual Veteran Stand Down event hosted by multiple Veteran serving agencies in our community. The event will be at the CK Newsome Center on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
In times of war, exhausted combat units requiring time to rest, and recover were removed from the battlefields to a place of relative security and safety. At secure base camp areas, troops were able to take care of personal hygiene, get clean uniforms, enjoy warm meals, receive medical and dental care, mail and receive letters, and enjoy the camaraderie of friends in a safe environment. This was referred to as a Stand Down.
Today, Stand Down refers to a community-based intervention program designed to help the nation’s estimated 107,000 homeless veterans on any given night “combat” life on the streets. Homeless or at-risk veterans are brought together in a single location and are provided access to the community resources needed to focus on improving quality of life.
In the military, Stand Down afforded battle-weary soldiers the opportunity to renew their spirit, health, and overall sense of well-being. Today’s Stand Down affords the same opportunity to homeless or at-risk veterans within our community.
Local homeless or at-risk veterans are provided with a broad range of necessities including food, clothing, medical, legal and mental health assistance, job counseling and referrals, and most importantly, companionship and camaraderie. It is a time for the community to connect with the homeless and at-risk veteran population and address this crisis that affects our community.
The event is free to both veterans and service providers
