OFBCI > Hoosier Corps Hoosier Corps

The OFBCI’s purpose is to maximize the power of service and volunteering to improve lives in communities across our state.  It is precisely because of this focus that the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (hereafter “IHCDA”) elected to collaborate with the OFBCI on the structured volunteer activities component of the Indiana Hardest Hit Fund (hereafter “IHHF”).  This three-year program is financed through the United States Department of the Treasury.  The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (hereafter “IDWD”) is also a partner in this endeavor.
