INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Hundreds of files containing medical histories and Social Security numbers were found in the trash on Indianapolis' east side. The records belong to homeless veterans.

Some of the records date back to 2004 and 24-Hour News 8 found boxes of them in a dumpster.

For several weeks Helping Homeless Veterans and Families on the east side has been busy moving. Their new location is posted on the front door.

"We been moving here about the past month, we're still moving," Dr. Charles Haenlein said.

Haenlein is the President and CEO of Helping Homeless Veterans and Families, an organization that helps Homeless Veterans find shelter and work. He says they also try to protect their identity.
