What they are saying about us…
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.
Bruce
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.
Paul
I was homeless, living on the streets for 8 years when ECHO Housing found me. I now have a home of my own.
Anthony
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.
Roger
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.

📢 Urgent Need for Gresham House: Air Fryer Donations Needed! 🍽️
Gresham House, our emergency shelter for Veterans in the Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program (HVRP), is in need of 2 new or gently used air fryers to help our residents prepare meals.
🏡 Why? As a historical home next to Garvin Park, Gresham House does not have an oven or stove downstairs for resident use. The air fryer and microwave are the only cooking options for the Veterans staying with us. The previous donated air fryer has stopped working, and we’ve realized just how much it was relied upon and appreciated.
💙 How You Can Help:
👉 Donate a new or gently used air fryer
👉 Share this post to spread the word!
Every meal made helps our Veterans on their journey to stability, employment, and self-sufficiency. If -you can donate, please message us at info@echohousing.org or call 812-457-9424
Thank you for supporting those who have served! 🇺🇸💙 #Veterans #SupportOurHeroes #GreshamHouse #CommunityCares
