HVAF is a wonderful organization with a mission to eliminate homelessness for our veterans. This is important since veterans make up a staggering one-third of the entire homeless population, a fact that many are not aware of. With our troops returning home, the need for an organization like HVAF is even more imperative. I am fortunate and grateful to be part of an agency that really makes difference in the lives of our veterans. No veteran should be homeless and I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with them.

Every day, we help homeless vets struggling with the demons of addictions, mental and physical health issues, and hopelessness and despair. We give them a place to live for a bit, and link them with the services they need to become healthy and whole. They have to work hard in our programs, and when they do, are rewarded with a renewed sense of joy in living. Everything we do at HVAF centers around the mission of ending homelessness for veterans. The staff lives and breathes it, and our vets quickly realize how much we care. It is a privilege to be a part of this organization.

I am a Peer Counselor and Certified Recovery Specialist of the State of Indiana. My job consist of helping veterans put their lives back together while in our housing program by educating and helping them hone their coping, social and various other skills needed to function in society. Skills that were forgotten or put on the back burner due to homelessness, mental health,( addiction issuues ranging from drugs and alcohol to sex and food, yes food all these things can cause health problems. Being a former homeless veteran who dealt with all these issues and made my way back with help from organizations like HVAF I see first hand the accomplishment we as a team make on a daily basis, and I am very proud to be a part of this team for the past six years. I shared a one and a half year journey with a veteran who came into our program on disability, with a bad herion addiction, is bipolar, homeless and attempted to take his life with a gun, today he is working and off disability, has had his own apartment for over a year almost 2 years clean and sober, taking his medication like he should and is leading a productive life.

I am glad I am employed at a place that helps veterans. I come from a family of veterans and it feels good to give back to the veteran population. I had no clue how many homeless veterans were out there and working for HVAF has been a wake up call for me! I will continue to help those in need and provide a positive environment for veterans who feel that no one cares for them because I definitely do! Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts.

As a leader in the United States Army, we were always talking about soldier care. I was commissioned in 1989, went to war in 1990-1991 and continued to lead soldiers until 2000. Just because I am no longer wearing the uniform, does not mean that I can disregard my duty to take care of soldiers. I believe that duty lives on throughout my life.
It is honor serve on the board of HVAF of Indiana and continue to take care soldiers in their greatest needs.
Duty, Honor, Country
Together we serve!

This organization (HVAF) provides food, clothing, shelter, education, training and employment to homeless and near homeless veterans. They house over 200 people each day and serve over 2,000 walk-ins every year. They have a special program for chronically mentally ill veterans and an in-house residential substance abuse program. Without a doubt the best non-governmental program for homeless veterans.
