Assistance applications and additional resource information are also available in our foyer, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

TOWNSHIP ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS

Each application is reviewed and determined on a case-by-case basis. Every application will be carefully investigated to determine eligibility and the assistance available under Indiana law and the Township’s applicable Standards and Guidelines.

Once a signed application and all required documentation have been submitted, the Township has 72 hours to complete its investigation. Applicants will be contacted for an appointment as needed during the process.

APPLICATION ASSISTANCE

The Deputy Trustee can assist an applicant with completing the application when assistance is needed because of:

  • A physical or mental disability

  • Dyslexia

  • Difficulty reading or writing English

If an applicant has a relative living within the Township who is able to assist with completing the application, the applicant may be asked to have that relative provide assistance before Township staff assists with the application.

REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

The following documentation must be provided along with the state-required Township Assistance application and can easily be uploaded to our site, as applicable:

  • Social Security card

  • Driver’s license or other required identification

  • Copy of the most recent tax return

  • Proof of one month’s income from all adults in the household

  • Landlord letter or voucher

  • Bank records for the most recent 45 days

  • Statements or records from any Chime, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or similar financial accounts

  • Job search sheet, if requested by the investigator

  • Monthly benefit or allowance records from government agencies, including SNAP, TANF, disability, child support, HIP, WIC, and other applicable benefits

  • A copy of the actual bill or expense for which assistance is being requested

Providing complete documentation helps prevent delays in processing your application.
