Community Action of South Eastern West Virginia, Inc. (CASEWV): Empowering Communities Since 1964

A pioneering force in community action, CASEWV, Inc. has been serving the people of southeastern West Virginia since its charter in 1964. As the third such agency established in West Virginia, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency and improve their overall quality of life.

Our Mission:

Driven by a volunteer Board of Directors representing a diverse cross-section of the community—elected officials, private sector leaders, and representation of the limited-income sector—we ensure that the voices of those we serve are heard and their needs are met. We envision safe, healthy, inclusive communities to support individuals and families in reaching their full potential.

Our Reach:

While our core community action programs focus on Mercer, Monroe, and Summers counties, our impact extends throughout southeastern West Virginia. Through a variety of initiatives, we provide vital services and support to residents in up to 12 counties across the region.

Our Commitment:

For over six decades, CASEWV, Inc. has been a steadfast partner in building stronger, healthier, and more vibrant communities. We remain dedicated to addressing the root causes of poverty, promoting economic opportunity, and fostering a brighter future for all.

CASEWV secures funding for home repairs in Monroe County

Community Action of South Eastern West Virginia, Inc. (CASEWV), is happy to announce that we’ve been awarded $335,680 from FHLB Pittsburgh through their 2024 Affordable Housing Program. James King, president of The Bank of Monroe, submitted the grant application on our behalf as the FHLB member bank. All funds will be utilized to make needed repairs to twelve homes in Monroe County and includes repair and administrative costs. Michelle Dalton, Housing Director for CASEWV and native of Monroe County, conducted surveys over several weeks this summer to obtain information on the housing needs within the county. This survey was an integral part of the funding application, and we appreciate those who took the time to participate and our community partners who helped in this process. The twelve homeowners will be selected from those surveys, as well as from our existing waiting list. We plan to use local, licensed contractors and information on submitting bids will be forthcoming.
