Who is eligible for Township Assistance?

In order to be eligible to receive Township assistance, you must meet the following requirements:

     1.  Live in Center Township.

     2.  Be in need of basic necessities.

     3.  Have little or no income or assets.

     4.  Be willing to help yourself as much as possible.

If we cannot assist you, we will always try to provide you with information/referrals to an agency or organization that may be able to provide the help you need.

 

What is a "Family Eligibility Analysis"?

It is just a review of your recent financial situation.  First, we look at your income and assets for the preceding month.  Then we compare it with the "Monthly Maximum Income Allowed".  Then we look at the receipts of how you spent your money, and we also look at the basic necessities of life if you can show that you cannot pay (or arrange) for them.  We may ask your relatives to help out or we may refer you to another agency for the needed assistance.
