Welcome to the TRI-CAP website

Welcome to TRI-CAP where we have been helping people and changing lives in southwestern Indiana since 1966. As a Community Action Agency, TRI-CAP is part of America’s largest poverty fighting network. TRI-CAP is an independent, non-profit organization that provides valuable services and assistance to individuals and families, most of whom are low-income.

While we are primarily established to help low-income households, many of our services are available to persons of any income level for a fee. Please see our “Programs” page for more information.

Our Mission

TRI-CAP empowers people in our communities to accept responsibility for achieving personal and economic well-being by providing health, housing, and educational services.

Community Action Promise

The Promise of Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
