TOWNSHIP ASSISTANCE

In addition to providing fire protection and medical aid, the Township Trustee's Office provides a service unlike any other unit of government called Township Assistance. Township Assistance is a program that allows those unfortunate residents in Perry Township, who are suffering financial hardship, the opportunity to apply for relief of their need(s) for food, clothing, shelter, and medical. Many refer to this type of service as Temporary Assistance because it is provided as a temporary or short-term remedy to those in need. Those individuals and families who apply for this assistance must prove that they are unable to provide those needs through personal effort and that they have exhausted all other means. Those who do not meet the requirements are referred to other programs and provided with a list of surrounding community resources.

Perry Township strives to provide assistance in the most economical means possible by facilitating partnerships with local church's and charitable organizations in the community. We, in Perry Township, call onto these organizations to assist our efforts in providing services to those in need to supplement the use of tax money in addition to fill needs we are unable to provide.
