Veterans experiencing homelessness, or those who are at risk of homelessness, are gaining job experience by beautifying and cleaning downtown Indianapolis.
Street ambassadors work with Downtown Indy Inc. as part of phase one of the Helping Veterans and Families Vetworks program.
Since its launch in 2021, HVAF says 68 veterans have participated and 27 have completed all three phases. Veterans who have completed the program now earn an average wage of $22.80 per hour."The Downtown Indy placement is really great because they can earn an income while practicing those soft skills that we practice and touch on in phase one," Kiara Walker, Director of Veteran Workforce Development of Indiana, said.
"They really have become the face of our organization," Tim Boruff, VP of Finance and Operations for Downtown Indy Inc., said."I think people in our community see how impactful these great veterans are. They see those yellow coats or shirts. They're making a true impact in terms of our downtown."
