The Community Action of Southern Indiana (C.A.S.I.) Jeffersonville, IN, was born out of former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty, which was declared in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1965.

Since its beginning, the agency has offered community outreach, transportation, case management, and linkage to needed services.

Over time, C.A.S.I. has changed in response to new and unanticipated needs and circumstances within the community. But one thing remains unchanged after four decades of providing for the poor: we have remained true to our original mission of empowering families and communities as they move toward the goal of self-sufficiency.
