start our phone verification process to ensure that we have all the
latest information on the services they offer to the Homeless and
ReEntry industry in and around Indy. If you don't want to wait
until we call you, please give us a call and we will assign you a
log-in and password, and tell you how to add and/or change the
information on your
organizations file. Coming Soon: Bulletin Boards - HRH will be offering at least two Community Boards on its web site; one, for Service Providers, and two, for their Clients and those in need, that will allow them to post messages for the goods and services they need - check back later for more details. |
