Andrew Funk currently works as a Client Advocate for the Center for At-Risk Elders, a not-for-profit advocacy law firm, specializing in court appointed guardianship. In this role, Andrew works with incapacitated, abused, or neglected adults to facilitate informed decision-making, and ensuring that these individuals have every opportunity and resource available to them.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Andrew was deployed to one of Indiana’s Safe Recovery Sites, where unhoused individuals who tested positive for COVID were able to quarantine and recover. Andrew also played an integral role in ensuring successful reintegration to the community for residents of the site, utilizing his network of community providers and resources to secure housing and access to medical providers, along with other important, but overlooked services for those vulnerable individuals.

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Psychology from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and is a current Master of Social Work candidate, with expected completion by May 13, 2023. Andrew’s areas of focus include crisis management, healthcare emergencies, and end-of-life decision-making.
