Every county in Indiana is divided into townships.
A Township Trustee is an elected civil servant who is responsible, among other things, for the poor assistance provided to the township's residents.
This may include assist with utilities (you do not pay deposits, re-connection fees, or fines).
Each Township Trustee has several guidelines based in some way on standards set by the state.
Requirements:
Photo ID for anyone in the household older than 18 years, Social Security card, birth certificate, VISA, green card (not expired) and/or resident alien card.
Each person in the household must ensure the same level of identification.
To ask for help, call the Township Trustee.
In more populated townships, the trustee may have staff to assist in the application process.
Others take over the process themselves.
Applicants may be required to provide documentary evidence of income, invoices, etc. If services are refused, the applicant must receive a form PR-1A stating the reason for the refusal.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year.
To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.
You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
