Urgent Help Needed After HVAF Fire Displaces 48 Homeless Veterans at Indianapolis Transitional Housing

On October 26, at around 9:30 P.M., there was a significant fire at HVAF of Indiana’s Manchester Apartments — located at 960 Pennsylvania Street in downtown Indianapolis. This facility serves as a transitional housing property for 48 homeless veterans. The damage was catastrophic, and we are unsure of the cause at this time. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD) are currently investigating the fire, please direct all fire-related questions to them. We are thankful for IFD promptly arriving on the scene to work to put out the fire, and for IndyGo providing busses for providing transportation for displaced veterans.


All veterans have been relocated to local hotel rooms and we are coordinating with partners to provide appropriate support. If you would like to support HVAF during this time, please donate here: https://www.hvafofindiana.org/donate-hvaf-fire-assistance/



For veterans struggling to return to self-sufficiency, the loss last night is unimaginable. We appreciate the support of our community as we work to rebuild and recover.
