PROJECT 57 - PHASE I
Phase I - Helical Pier Install
When Steadfast began in 2016, there was no housing for 57 homeless Veterans in Indianapolis. That meant, despite the efforts to house Veterans – temporarily or permanently – sadly, there was nowhere for them to go. We felt it was absolutely unacceptable for Americans, who sacrificed for all of us, to be living on the streets of our city.
We set out to change that with Project 57. Over the next two and a half years we began to raise awareness through social media and fundraising efforts. We also sought properties that would be suitable to build a community for Veterans that would afford them the dignity and safety they deserve.
In of June 2019, we found one such property! As of January 2022, permits have been secured and work is in progress!
From This ...
Phase I of Project 57 will be built in southwest Indianapolis. It was once the site of a fifteen-space mobile home park.
The property, much like the Veterans Steadfast Indiana serves, was abandoned and neglected.
... To This!
Soon, it will be the site of seventeen small, single occupancy, permanent homes for Veterans who will no longer be forgotten. There will also be an on-site office that provides property management and shuttle services to and from the Roudebush VA Medical Center.
This artist's rendering depicts what we envision the property can become! We look forward to providing you with more updates soon!
