INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis is seeing an overall increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness, but the most recent numbers show there are fewer veterans on the streets. Darrell Johnson is an Army veteran. A couple years ago he lost money on a land contract leaving him and his wife with no place to live. He found out about Helping Veterans and Families. 'We have an affordable home that we’ve been in now about 8 months.
Free resources help navigate benefits for veterans in Indianapolis'Once you get the guys in, it's not how you talk to them, but how you make them feel. We're military guys, very independent. It feels like a hand out, it’s a terrible feeling but once you get past that, I feel like they’re really trying to help me,' said Johnson. Hildebrand says she's encouraged by the numbers, but there are issues with racial disparity among veterans experiencing homelessness.
