Family Development Program

The Family Development Program is designed to help low-income families residing in Jefferson, Jennings and Scott counties achieve and maintain a higher level of self-sufficiency. Families meet on a regular basis with a case manager to discuss their situation and plan for the future.

To qualify a family must:

• Be willing to improve their family's situation for the better
• Be willing to meet with a case manager on a regular basis
• Fall within set income guidelines

Families can expect to:

• Set goals and make action plans to achieve these goals
• Plan a budget and manage their time
• Be linked with other community resources that might assist them while they strengthen their families

This is an ongoing program designed to fit each family's unique wants and needs. The family decides the path they want to take to improve their situation. The case manager acts as the guide and assists the family along the way. At no point will the case manager tell a family what they must do - this is the family's decision. Only families who show a willingness to work to improve their situation will benefit from the program.

For more information or to participate in the program, please call 812-265-5858 or 1-800-928-1232.
