His most recent company is <a href="https://purpose.ly" rel="nofollow">Purposely</a>, a platform to empower employees or individuals to optimize their talents.</p> <blockquote> <p>Talent optimization is one of the most critical factors that will determine if your business is able to reach and exceed your desired business results.

Episode 23: HVAF Of Indiana: Housing, Support, And Advocacy For Veterans And Their Families
<p>HVAF was first incorporated as a Far From Home Chapter in June, 1993. In 1995, the organization completed its first housing project, establishing a residence for five homeless veterans. The project became the first transitional housing unit for homeless veterans in Indianapolis.</p> <p>In 1998, the organization adopted the name Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation, Inc. (HVAF). In April, 2000, HVAF developed its Veteran Services Center, extending supportive services to homeless veterans and their families. The center provides food, clothing, furniture, household items and personal hygiene supplies. In 2005, the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation became <strong>HVAF of Indiana, Inc</strong>.</p> <p>HVAF operates 13 distinct transitional housing properties including substance abuse and addiction counseling services. In September 2011, HVAF opened another apartment complex that houses 51 veterans, bringing HVAF’s total bed capacity to over 200. Still, the need for services greatly exceeds even this capacity.</p> <p>HVAF of Indiana houses, supports, and advocates for all veterans and their families to help them achieve the best possible quality of life. They fight veteran homelessness in 5 ways:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Housing</strong> - they operate 13 distinct housing properties across Indianapolis.</li> <li><strong>Employment</strong> - they have employment specialists who help veterans hold employment.</li> <li><strong>Pantry</strong> - they stock and provide clothing, hygiene products, and food items all year.</li> <li><strong>Advocacy</strong> - they engage in activities to raise awareness in the community.</li> <li><strong>Outreach</strong> - Every day, workers go into the community to help those in need.</li> </ol> <p>If you're a veteran, a supporter, or a company in the region that wishes to help, please connect with HVAF of Indiana. They have opportunities to donate funds, donate pantry items, or even donate time to assist in the upkeep of the housing and assistance in their other work.</p><p>Special Guests: Andrea DeCamp and Robert White.</p><p><a href="http://paypal.me/douglaskarr" rel="payment">Support Veteran Cast</a></p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.hvafofindiana.org/" title="HVAF of Indiana" rel="nofollow">HVAF of Indiana</a> — HVAF of Indiana houses, supports, and advocates for all veterans and their families to help them achieve the best possible quality of life.</li><li><a href="https://www.hvafofindiana.org/take-action/" title="Support HVAF of Indiana" rel="nofollow">Support HVAF of Indiana</a> — Supporters of HVAF of Indiana can donate time, money, or items to assist in their mission.</li><li><a href="https://www.hvafofindiana.org/join-the-newsletter/" title="Subscribe to HVAF of Indiana's Newsletter" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to HVAF of Indiana's Newsletter</a> — Stay informed about HVAF of Indiana's progress and opportunities where you can assist.</li></ul>
