About the Indiana Community Action Network
In Indiana, there are 23 Community Action Agencies that serve all 92 counties of Indiana and comprise the Indiana Community Action Network. Each Community Action Agency periodically analyzes community needs to identify strategies that will work best in attacking poverty. Each CAA is distinct because its programs reflect the needs of their local communitie
s. These agencies are unique in their ability to deploy diverse program activities and services in meeting their mission. Community Action Agencies operate an array of programs which include, but are not limited to: Head Start, Energy Assistance Program, Weatherization Program, Individual Development Accounts, Homeownership Counseling, Owner Occupied Rehabilitation, Housing Development, Foster Grandparents, Child Care, and many more programs and services.

Congratulations to South Central Community Action Program!
At the Indiana Community Action Association annual statewide conference, IHCDA presented awards to three Community Action Partners for their outstanding work in the industry 🏆
The Community Collaboration Award goes to a community action agency who has utilized the invaluable connections of local partners to better their community through a project.
The winning agency for this award took an innovative approach in allocating their CSBG CARES Act funding to build and solidify relationships with new partners in their community 🤝
Collaboration and partnerships are essential to any agency, and this year’s awardee has set a great example of leveraging funding in pursuit of lasting community partnerships. We’re thrilled to recognize South Central Community Action Program with this award!
"Payday lenders drain millions from Hoosiers, their families, and their communities every year," said Andy Nielsen, Senior Policy Analyst at the Indiana Community Action Poverty Institute. "Payday loans are inherently flawed: they violate anything close to a true borrower-creditor relationship in exchange for a one-sided agreement that fuels a debt trap for vulnerable borrowers. Lawmakers have the power and the obligation to create a credit market in our state that is fair, responsible, and equitable. We hope this report will inform that conversation in the future and create a framework that works for all Hoosiers."

Please visit the INCAA Weatherization Training Center (WTC) http://intelligentweatherization.org
The Department of Energy (DOE) along with an industry led collaboration developed four Job Task Analyses (JTAs) which define the knowledge, skills and abilities of workers in the home energy industry. Recognizing the importance of DOE’s efforts, the INCAA WTC transitioned their training to the National platform in 2012. We now train in the following areas: Energy Auditor, Retrofit Installer (Shell and Mechanical), Crew Leader and Quality Control Inspector (also known as Final Inspector).
DOE partnered with the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) and they developed the IREC ISPQ Standard 01022:2011 for training centers that want to seek accreditation in the above JTA’s . On July 12, 2013 the INCAA WTC received the IREC accreditation awards for Energy Auditor, Quality Control Inspector, Crew Leader and Retrofit Installer. The INCAA WTC now carries a mark of distinction and sends a strong signal to the industry that they have met a rigorous standard. Our Trainers are now working on their applications for Affiliated Master Trainer based upon the IREC ISPQ Standard 01022:2011.

May was Community Action Month. See how Community Action Agencies Celebrated Around the State.
North Central Community Action Agencies, Inc. kicked off "National Community Action Month" with a luncheon at the George and Madeline Smrt Community Center.
May is National Community Action month. This is the month that Community Action Agencies call attention to poverty- related problems. As Community Action Agencies are showcasing their programs, they are also giving local residents—many who are unaware of the poverty in their communities—a first-hand look at the struggles low-income families face and how Community Action programs help them.
