Community Action Program, Inc. of Western Indiana. Serving the people of our communities since 1966

Office Operations: In response to COVID-19, our offices are currently open by appointment only.  For the safety of those we serve and our employees, please call to reschedule your appointment if you are sick or start to feel symptoms of being sick. We are asking that all visitors wear a face mask before entering our offices. One will be provided, if needed.

In order to remain healthy, we encourage you to closely follow the guidance issued by the Center for Disease Control. By working together, we can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. Visit www.cdc.gov/COVID19.

CAPWI will continue to assess this dynamic situation and make adjustments as necessary for the safety of everyone concerned.

We have COVID-19 Relief Assistance for those affected by the health crisis. Click here for more information!

Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance (IERA): The state’s Rental Assistance Portal opened to begin accepting applications for the Indiana Emergency Rental Assistance (IERA) program. The IERA program is designed to decrease evictions, increase housing stability, and prevent homelessness by helping renters whose income has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 with rent and utility assistance. IERA can provide eligible renter households with up to 12 months of rental assistance.

Visit www.indianahousingnow.org for a link to apply and informational documents for landlords, renters, utility and home energy providers, internet providers, and FAQs in English and Spanish.

COVID-19 Vaccination: Any Hoosier age 16 and older, first responders (fire, law enforcement, emergency medical services, reservists and volunteers) who have in-person contact with the public, and licensed and unlicensed healthcare workers who have in-person contact with patients or infectious material in any healthcare setting are now eligible to schedule a vaccination appointment.
