Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana

Opportunity Alliance of Southern Indiana (OASI), formerly the Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana, is working to better understand the needs of individuals and families in our community. We invite you to share your feedback through a brief 3–5 minute survey.

Your responses are anonymous. The survey does not collect your name, IP address, or email address, and your individual responses will not be connected to any previous contact or past, current, or future participation in our services or programs.

Please complete the survey by Friday, October 30.

Your feedback will help us better understand the challenges people in our community face and identify the services and supports that would be most helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We are working to improve the services and resources available to individuals and families in our community. Because you have previously contacted or participated in services through the Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana, now the Opportunity Alliance of Southern Indiana, we would appreciate you...

After experiencing technical issues with Meta, we've officially regained access to our page, and we're excited to reconnect with you here.

You may notice some changes as we transition our page name and handle from Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana to Opportunity Alliance of Southern Indiana.

While our name changed in September, our commitment to serving individuals and families in need throughout Southern Indiana remains as strong as ever.

Thank you for your patience, support, and continued connection. We're glad to be back, and we look forward to sharing more about the work we're doing in our community.

OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND | What does affordable housing really mean, and why does it matter?

Today, we’re launching Opportunity to Understand, a series created to share clear information about homelessness, housing, and the challenges facing people in our community. Understanding creates opportunity. It also helps build a stronger alliance for neighbors who are working hard but still struggling to afford basic needs.

Follow along as we separate facts from assumptions and take a closer look at the issues affecting Southern Indiana.

Our Outreach Specialist Autumn Reynolds spends her days meeting people where they are, building trust, and helping connect them with the resources they need.

In this video, Autumn shares what outreach entails. She also speaks to a hard truth: homelessness can happen to anyone. A full-time working parent. Someone leaving the hospital with no safe place to recover. A neighbor facing one unexpected crisis too many.

This work is about more than services. It’s about dignity, connection, opportunity, and standing together in alliance with people in our community. As Autumn reminds us, “In a blink of an eye, that could happen to any of us.”

Watch the video to learn more.

The Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana has been accepted into the inaugural Indiana Statewide Tenant Leadership Cohort, Class of 2026, through the Indiana Tenants Association.

This statewide cohort brings together housing advocates and tenant leaders working to strengthen housing stability, elevate renter voices, and support community-driven solutions across Indiana.

For HCSI, this is an opportunity to make sure Southern Indiana’s housing challenges are part of the conversation. The people we serve often face barriers long before they experience homelessness, including eviction risk, affordability issues, and lack of access to safe, stable housing.

This work helps us continue advocating for stronger housing stability, better resources, and lasting solutions for the people and communities we serve. Stay tuned for an opportunity to get involved!
