HVAF of Indiana, Inc. was incorporated as the Far From Home Foundation, Inc., Indiana Chapter, in 1993. In June 1996, the organization completed its first housing project, establishing a home for five veterans. This project became the first supportive housing unit for homeless veterans in Indiana.
In 1998, the organization adopted the name Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation (HVAF). In April 2000, HVAF developed the Veterans Services Center to provide supportive services to homeless veterans. The center provides food, clothing, furniture and personal hygiene items. HVAF's name changed to HVAF of Indiana, Inc. (Helping Homeless Veterans and Families) in 2006 to reflect the mission of helping both homeless veterans and their families.
