Hamilton County Township Trustees — Township Assistance

Indiana law assigns each township trustee a duty to assist poor and needy residents within their township. Carmel Clay, Clay (Carmel), Delaware (Fishers), Fall Creek (Fishers), Noblesville, Washington (Westfield), Wayne, Jackson, Adams, White River, and Sheridan-area townships each operate offices that can pay emergency rent, utility shutoffs, food, prescriptions, household necessities, and burial costs case-by-case. Standards and income limits vary by township but are coordinated through the Hamilton County Trustees Association.
