CANI by the numbers

CANI helped 31,322 people in northeast Indiana in 2006. CANI serves over half of the more than 42,000 people living in poverty in the area.

Last year, CANI made the following possible:

• 12,153 families received help with their utility bills, either reconnecting services or preventing disconnect.
• 4,239 children were provided quality child care in order for families to acquire or maintain employment or go to school.
• 1,497 senior citizens and 4,206 people with disabilities maintained independent living situations.
• 831 children developed school-readiness skills in preparation for kindergarten.
• 799 children obtained age-appropriate immunizations, medical, and dental care.
• 384 families improved parenting and family-functioning skills, thereby reducing the risk of child abuse and neglect.
• 214 families became more self-sufficient through intensive, home-based case-management services.
• 200 families received monthly housing assistance in order to maintain safe and decent housing.
• 170 families lived in safer and more energy-efficient homes.
• 17 families had extensive home improvements which improved the buildings’ durability and made their homes more livable and safe.

CANI has accomplished much in the past and wants to accomplish even more in the future. To do that, however, CANI needs the help and financial support of our community. Please consider supporting CANI today. Thank you!
