Press Release:
IDVA selects ECHO Housing Corporation as 2023 Non-Profit Partner
Non-profit serves homeless veterans in southwest Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) announced today the selection of ECHO Housing Corporation to serve as Non-Profit Partner (NPP) in 2023. The program partners IDVA with an Indiana non-profit dedicated to enhancing the lives of Indiana’s Veterans.
ECHO is a non-profit organization based in Evansville, Indiana and serves homeless veterans in nine southwestern Indiana counties through two veteran-centric programs. ECHO provides employment-centric case management services for hundreds of homeless veterans through its Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). ECHO also has six emergency shelter beds for immediate use by veterans served in HVRP. In addition to HVRP, ECHO also operates Lucas Place II, the first permanent supportive housing site in the state of Indiana specifically for veterans. This facility has 27, 1-bedroom apartments for veterans experiencing homelessness. ECHO provides on-site case management for all residents and works tirelessly to increase the quality of life for each Veteran.
Together, IDVA and ECHO will plan the annual IDVA golf outing as well as other events throughout the year to raise funds for ECHO’s mission; raise awareness of state and federal benefits available to veterans; and foster community, camaraderie, and connection.
“We strive every day to end veteran homelessness, and the programs ECHO provides align with our goals to enhance the lives of all Indiana veterans,” said Dennis Wimer, IDVA director. “I look forward to working alongside ECHO over the next year.”
