About this facility

Hours: Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m
Mission: DANI will operate on three coordinated fronts: Case Management, Construction, and Financial. * Case Management will meet with individual families to review what needs exist, what resources have already been sought and used, and what remains to be resolved. Case workers will work to empower the flooding survivors to create a plan for long-term recovery, and will work one-on-one to put recovery in motion. Appropriate unmet needs will be presented to a DANI committee for consideration for funding.

* Construction will evaluate building projects referred from Case Management that need extensive repairs beyond those covered by FEMA or insurance funds, and will coordinate volunteer efforts to provide the labor needed to complete these projects.

* The Financial group will coordinate the extensive fundraising and dispersement effort needed to accomplish this great task for the community.
Areas served: Benton, Carroll, Cass, Fulton, Jasper, Pulaski, Tippecanoe, White
Eligibility: Flood Relief
Service: Don't Know

Notes

Lafayette's Alan Welch of Disaster Assistance for Northwest Indiana said DANI is meant for long-term recovery, not rescue or cleanup.

Resources Needed:

Following are some of the resources that will be needed for the long-term recovery of the DANI region:

* Money
* New construction materials, especially drywall
* Professional Construction Services (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc.)
* Housing for outside volunteer groups
* Meals for volunteers
* New appliances
* Donor Services (helping people with giving)
* (more to be added as specific needs are identified)

VOLUNTEERING:
As specific opportunities for volunteering are identified, they will be listed on this page. Volunteer opportunities will exist in construction, clean-up, fund raising, housing/feeding volunteers, and many other areas.
