Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships allow us to provide supportive services to our residents as well as further development of affordable housing. Our residents may require assistance in areas other than housing. Community Partnerships allow us to address those needs and move our residents toward self-sufficiency.

Community Partners, we could not do this without YOU.

If you are interested in partnering with HACR - please call 765.966.2687

Children with diagnosed and suspected disabilities receive added consideration for enrollment. Furthermore, Head Start partners with the local school districts (LEAs) to ensure that each child with a diagnosed disability obtains the needed supports established in the child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) to learn and grow in preparation for kindergarten. Funded through the Department of Health and Human Services, Head Start has 306 enrollment slots with part-day (128 days/year), full-day (146 days/year), and full-day extended year (174 days/year) options. Currently, CAECI Head Start operates four days per week with classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

Interlocal Community Action Program
ICAPCAA.org

ICAP changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live.
ICAP, a not-for-profit agency, was established in 1965 under the Economic Opportunity Act. President Johnson's "Great Society" program included a War on Poverty, and community action agencies were created to empower the poor by helping this group regain a voice in our democratic system.

We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other. As a Community Action Agency, ICAP will design, sponsor and administer programs that provide help for today and hope for tomorrow.
