ECHO Housing & Community Development was contacted this morning by Officer Andrew Smith of the Evansville Police Department regarding an Evansville resident with seven minor children who had lost heat in their home. The family was attempting to reach their landlord to address the issue.
Officers Smith and Eastwood responded to the residence to check on the safety and well-being of the resident and her children. At the same time, ECHO coordinated directly with the landlord, who was experiencing travel limitations due to weather conditions and was unable to reach the home to repair the HVAC system.
Although the landlord had space heaters available, they were unable to transport them to the family. Officers Smith and Eastwood voluntarily stepped in, retrieving the heaters from the storage location and delivering them to the home - ensuring the family could remain safely housed and avoid displacement during extreme weather conditions.
This situation reflects the above-and-beyond service often provided by law enforcement in our community. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Evansville Police Department, the Crime Prevention Unit, and Officers Smith and Eastwood for their compassion, responsiveness, and commitment to protecting the well-being of Evansville residents.
Thank you! 💜🏠
