ECHO Housing & Community Development

1 week ago

Four months ago, we shared the vision for MCAP & the E3 Initiative — a community-driven approach to responding to crisis with compassion, coordination, and care. Today, we’re grateful to share a progress update as that vision continues to take shape.

Why ECHO? We are not duplicating what services exist. Our approach is as a non-system ally in community-wide crisis response efforts. With more than 30 years serving some of the most vulnerable individuals in our community, we have a unique perspective of the barriers individuals face when struggling with untreated mental illness and how those challenges affect our community.

This work is not happening in isolation. We are especially appreciative of our partners at Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, the Evansville Police Department, Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, United Caring Services, Aurora, Evansville Rescue Mission, Brentwood Springs, and others engaged in crisis response who are working alongside us - each strengthening the supports we individually provide, while intentionally collaborating to better serve our community.

Crisis response is complex, and no single system or organization can do this work alone. Through MCAP and the E3 Initiative, we are aligning efforts, clarifying roles, and building stronger connections so individuals receive the right support at the right time-before, during, and after crisis.

Thank you to our partners, residents, and community members who continue to engage, provide feedback, and walk alongside us in this work. We’re building something meaningful together, and we look forward to sharing what’s next.

💜 Stay tuned.
