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.”
We’re proud to partner with the JD Sheth Foundation on Meena’s Place, a transformative project supporting women in our community. 💛
Meena’s Place will provide safe, supportive transitional housing for women and children-offering stability, healing, and the opportunity to grow for up to two years. This project fills a critical gap in our community’s housing continuum and represents Evansville’s first homelessness-to-homeownership model designed specifically for women.
We are grateful to the JD Sheth Foundation and everyone who believes in creating pathways to long-term stability and independence.
Together, we’re not just building housing-we’re building hope, opportunity, and a stronger future for our community.

We’re honored to sponsor the new sign at Jacobsville Park in partnership with Evansville Parks & Recreation.
For more than 30 years, ECHO Housing & Community Development has been proud to serve the Evansville community, with much of our work rooted right in the Jacobsville neighborhood - focusing on housing, stability, and long-term community growth.
Seeing our name connected to a space where neighbors gather, kids play, and the community comes together is especially meaningful. Jacobsville isn’t just where we work - it’s home.
Thank you to Evansville Parks & Recreation for the collaboration and for continuing to invest in spaces that strengthen our neighborhoods.

The Evansville Baptist Ministers and Deacons Alliance invites the community to join in its 56th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Memorial Service, featuring keynote speaker Rev. Dr. Tellis Chapman.
This meaningful annual gathering honors the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while uplifting the next generation through scholarship support and educational opportunity. Attendees will not only reflect on Dr. King’s vision of justice and service, but also help invest directly in local youth and community development.
Through initiatives such as scholarships and after-school program support, the Alliance and its supporters continue a long-standing commitment to giving back. Community members, families, faith leaders, and advocates are encouraged to attend, reflect, and stand together in support of education, empowerment, and Dr. King’s legacy.
