LUCAS PLACE II

Lucas Place II is a project-based permanent supportive housing (PSH) program for homeless veterans located across the street from Lucas Place. Constructed in 2011, Lucas Place II was the first veteran-specific PSH program in the State of Indiana and has since served as a model for other communities seeking to develop a similar program. Housing 27 one-bedroom units, Lucas Place II includes amenities such as a security system, swipe card entry, laundry facilities, and the first pocket park in the city of Evansville, donated by the JD Sheth Foundation. The facility contains a commons area available to all residents and a community room for meetings, educational seminars, ancillary service providers and computers with wireless access to foster assistance for the training and employment application process for the residents. There is an on-site case manager trained in veteran needs to provide the voluntary supportive services from the menu of services that are designed with the residents’ particular needs in mind. Lucas Place II is a supportive environment where veterans learn the methods necessary to maintain an independent and self-sufficient lifestyle throughout their future
