Dear Friends, 
Recent events in the world such as the unrest
in the Middle East, the financial crisis in
Europe, the drug war violence in Mexico, and
the recent violence in the United States are all
concerns impacting countless families across
Northern Indiana and around the nation.
Despite the shocking events going on around
the world, what is more shocking to me are
the every-day questions we get here at the NIHHC. Questions like, “I was
recently laid off and can’t afford to feed my children. What can I do?”, “My
child is sick and I don’t have insurance. Where can I go?”, “I am diabetic,
uninsured, unemployed, I don’t have money, and I am running out of insulin.
Where can I go?”
These questions have provided me with the inspiration to release the 3rd
edition of our Community Resource Directory. After spending hundreds of
hours on the revised version that you have in your hands, it is as clear as ever
that Northern Indiana is full of agencies who are helping make this part of the
country stronger. I am amazed at the effort our Northern Indiana community
agencies are making to reach out to our underserved communities. In this
3rd edition, there are over one hundred organizations that are attuned to the
needs of our Northern Indiana community, including minorities. These are
agencies that we feel are not only talking the talk but walking the walk.
Can any single agency be the end all? No it can’t. Just as we cannot
expect the government to be our savior, we cannot expect these agencies
individually, to meet the countless needs of the community. The past several
years have been a wake-up call to what lies ahead. In order to make it
through these times of trouble, we need to do our best to help our neighbors.
If you cannot find a job now, find a place to volunteer until you do. Help those
around you acquire a better life and you will have a better life. Be happy and
appreciate what you have. In the coming years, let’s work together to make
Northern Indiana’s communities a better and a healthier place for everyone.
Sincerely,
Liliana Quintero
Executive Director of the NIHHC

service. You will see their contact information, office hours, and cost,
along with other information.
The next page will show an example of the information layout.
The Basic Needs Assistance category, considering that there are
almost 30 providers, is set up a little bit differently. Please read the
following steps carefully:
1. Be sure to know what kind of help related with your basic needs you are
looking for. The subcategories under Basic Needs Assistance are: classes,
clothing, food, holiday help, medical, referral, shelter, and utilities.
2. Go to the Table of Contents on page 2 and look up the category Basic
Needs Assistance.

Assistance starts. It starts on page 9.
4. Go to the page where you will find the various agencies listed for that

Shelter: rent assistance, temporary housing
5. Under the name of each agency you will find a key word or hint that will
determine the specific service(s) offered by that agency. For example, if you
are looking for a type of shelter service, you can find quickly all the agencies
that could help with this by identifying the heading “HINT,” which in this case
would state “Shelter.” Be aware that there are agencies that provide more
than one service. For example:
ABC Church
HINT: Food, Shelter, and Utilities

contact information, office hours, eligibility requirements, along with other
information.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Program
What is the best method of detecting breast cancer?
A mammogram along with a clinical breast exam (an exam done by your
doctor) is the most effective way to detect breast cancer early.
What is a breast self-exam (BSE)?
This is an exam that should be done every month. In this exam you are
checking your own breasts for lumps or other changes. BSE should not take
the place of a clinical breast exam or a mammogram.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a safe, low-dose x-ray of the breast.
When should I have a mammogram?
• Women 40 years and older should get a mammogram every 1 to 2 years.
• Women who have had breast cancer or who have a family history of breast
cancer might need to start getting mammograms before age 40 and/or more
often.
Talk to your doctor about when to start and how often you should have a
mammogram.
What is the best method of detecting cervical cancer?
A Pap test can find early cell changes in the cervix before these changes turn
into cancer. If the test finds cell changes early enough, it can prevent cervical
cancer.
What is a Pap test?
A Pap test is a microscopic examination of cells taken from female organs
during a gynecological exam.
When should I have a Pap test?
You should have a Pap test:
• About 3 years after becoming sexually active.
• No later than age 21, even if you are not sexually active.
How often should I have a Pap test?
The frequency with which you need a Pap test should be discussed with your
physician, but most doctors recommend a Pap test every two years.
Is there a program available to help me pay for my mammogram and my
Pap test?
Yes, Indiana has a program called BCCP.
30
What is the BCCP program?
The Indiana Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) is a statewide public
health program. The BCCP provides a free Pap smear and mammogram to
women who qualify for the program.
What are the qualifications?
You must be an uninsured female between the ages of 40-64.
Regarding the monthly family income, the following are the general poverty
guidelines that are updated every year. They are an estimate which is subject to
change by the BCCP.
• If you have a family of 2, your household monthly gross income must be less
than $2,452.
than $3,088.
than $3,725.
than $4,362.
than $4,998.
• For each additional person in the family, add $637 to your household monthly
gross income. For example, for a family of 7 members the monthly gross
income must be less than ($4,998 + $637 = $5,635).

Child Car Safety Seats
Why does my child need to be in a car safety seat?
It is Indiana law that a child less than 8 years old must use a federally approved
safety seat or booster that fits the child properly according to his/her height and
weight.
Why is it important that I have my child’s car seat checked?
You should have your car seat checked to see that it will fully protect your child
in case of an accident and to see if you are using the car seat properly. Also,
if a car seat was purchased second-hand, the history of the car seat may be
unknown, which can put your child at risk if the car seat does not function
properly in the event of a vehicle crash.

Hoosier Healthwise
What is Hoosier Healthwise?
Hoosier Healthwise is a special program within the state’s Medicaid Office that
provides health and medical coverage to certain lower income families, children,
and pregnant women in Indiana.
What are the various packages available in the Hoosier Healthwise
program?
1. Package A-the standard plan available to eligible adults and children. There
are no premiums or co-payments for children. This program is typically for
lower income families and includes limited dental coverage and prescription
coverage with inexpensive co-pays.
2. Package B-pregnancy coverage. Covers prenatal care, pregnancy
complications, delivery, and 60 days of care after delivery. There are no
premiums or co-payments in this plan. If you are not a citizen, you may
qualify only if you are pregnant, and it only covers emergencies.
3. Package C-children’s health plan. For children under 19, in families that
have too much income to qualify for the standard plan. There is a monthly
premium.
4. Package E - emergency services only. Provides coverage for treatment of
serious medical emergencies. This plan is for certain immigrants who do not
meet the necessary immigration status to receive full benefits.
Are there any co-payments or premiums?
Some families may not have to pay at all. It depends on your family income. For
package C, monthly premiums range from $22 to $53 for one child, and $33 to
$70 for two or more children.
What are the eligibility criteria for the program?
To be eligible for one of the programs of Hoosier Healthwise, you must be a
U.S. Citizen, an Indiana resident, and a member of a family that meets the
income guidelines indicated in the chart.
The chart on the next page explains the family monthly income criteria based
on family size. In determining the family size for the pregnancy categories, the
number of unborn children is included. For example, a woman who is carrying
one baby and lives with her husband and another child will have a family size of
4. Regarding the family monthly income eligibility guidelines, the following are
the general guidelines that are updated every year. They are an estimate which
is subject to change by the local Division of Family Resources.
