Community Action of Southern Indiana Inc

CASI’s mission is to guide and empower families and communities to reach self-sufficiency and improved well-being by addressing the root causes of poverty.

What We Do

We believe in a holistic approach to fighting poverty. Through programs in early childhood education (Head Start), health & wellness, housing support, financial literacy, and basic needs assistance, we help families not just survive—but thrive.

Our Impact

For over60 years, CASI has been a trusted partner for individuals and families across Southern Indiana. Each year, we serve thousands of households by:

• Preparing children for lifelong success through high-quality early education.

• Helping families secure stable housing and avoid homelessness.

• Providing health and wellness resources that strengthen long-term stability.

• Teaching financial literacy skills that build independence and opportunity.

• Meeting urgent needs with food, clothing, and crisis assistance.

Our Vision

We envision a Southern Indiana where every individual has the opportunity, resources, and support to achieve their fullest potential, free from the barriers of poverty.

Why It Matters

Poverty is complex—but together, we can break the cycle. CASI combines compassion with practical solutions to create lasting change for families and communities.
