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.

Housing is where we started - but it’s not where the work ends.
Our role as both a housing and social service provider gives us a front-row seat to the challenges residents navigate every day-and how those challenges ripple across neighborhoods and systems. That’s why ECHO has been active in community development since 2016, working alongside partners to strengthen the community as a whole.

Housing works. Collaboration works. People deserve dignity and stability.
When residents, providers, and systems work side by side, homelessness can be rare, brief, and non-recurring.
No single organization can do this alone — but together, we can create real, lasting change.
Ending homelessness requires more than compassion. It requires commitment, partnership, and action.
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

As we welcome 2026, we’re grateful for the trust, partnership, and shared commitment that carried us through the year behind us.
This work is made possible by a community willing to show up, work together, and believe in lasting solutions. Every step forward reflects collaboration, care, and the belief that we are stronger when we work together.
Thank you to all who were part of the journey in 2025. Here’s to a prosperous, collaborative 2026 and the continued work ahead.

We’re proud to partner with the JD Sheth Foundation on Meena’s Place, a transformative project supporting women in our community. 💛
Meena’s Place will provide safe, supportive transitional housing for women and children-offering stability, healing, and the opportunity to grow for up to two years. This project fills a critical gap in our community’s housing continuum and represents Evansville’s first homelessness-to-homeownership model designed specifically for women.
We are grateful to the JD Sheth Foundation and everyone who believes in creating pathways to long-term stability and independence.
Together, we’re not just building housing-we’re building hope, opportunity, and a stronger future for our community.
