The Mission is Working
We are working to end homelessness among veterans. Through a unique partnership with U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs and many community organizations, we provide housing and re-integration services for homeless veterans and programs to prevent at-risk veterans from becoming homeless. But we need your help.

Daniel served as a medic and respiratory therapist from 1996-2010. After getting out of the military, Daniel felt lost without the camaraderie of his fellow soldiers.![]()

In 2020, sadly he went through a divorce and found himself homeless. Thankfully since July 2020, he has had a roof under his head... thanks to HVAF's Permanent Supportive Housing: Veterans Villa.![]()

"April (Daniel's Case Manager) has helped me out a whole lot. At one point I didn’t have any money or a phone or anything like that, so she was taking all of my calls and all of that stuff too," Daniel said. "Making sure I was getting communication with the VA, and everything else I needed to do."![]()

He said he is very thankful for all of April's help these last 1.5 years.![]()

"Daniel has shown so much improvement since he started this program. When he came he was rather depressed and having some real struggles and some barriers that were pretty gigantic," April said. "He felt comfortable enough to share those things so we were able to tag team and really work to solve a lot of his issues that weren’t his fault even. And that took a lot of weight off his back and allowed him to focus on his future."

Last year, we provided more than 35,000 services to Indy's homeless & near-homeless veterans. Thank you for allowing us to serve so many veterans in so many different ways! ❤🇺🇸🤝 More stats to come - stay tuned!
"For veterans that don't want to ask others for help, you’ve got to get rid of that pride. It’s like when we are in, nobody can do anything by themselves. You do need help. So you have to get past that pride and ask for help. Everybody needs help. Humans are a communal species. We didn’t get to where we are by being alone, we got to where we are by helping each other out." -Bianca | Navy #VeteransOfIndy
Board Member Danny Portee treated our veterans to a very special lunch at the Skyline Club downtown. The veterans enjoyed the delicious food & incredible views!! 🏙 Thank you for caring for & serving your fellow veterans so well, Danny!!
