To celebrate this milestone, HVAF is inviting the community to an open house on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 45 East 10th Street in Indianapolis.
“We are excited to invite our community to tour the renovated North Tower at Manchester Apartments,” said HVAF CEO Emmy Hildebrand. “We are looking forward to celebrating this important construction milestone, but more importantly, celebrating that we will soon be welcoming veterans back to this space to begin their journeys toward self-sufficiency.”
The fire on October 26, 2024, left 48 veterans displaced and prompted a community-wide response to restore this vital resource for those who have served our country.
