Knight Township Trustee’s Office - Assistance

The Knight Township Trustee’s Office is responsible for providing life sustaining financial and in kind assistance to the community’s residents from all walks of life who find themselves in need of temporary help. In Knight Township, poor relief represents the largest segment of our expended resources, both human and material. State laws clearly define what public aid can be granted and the process to access those services. Services are provided through purchase orders (vouchers) for shelter (rent or mortgage), utilities (gas, electric, water), food, medical, and burial. Applications for assistance are processed on a first-come-first-served basis between the hours of 8:30 am to 11:00 am and 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday, at our office conveniently located at 1116 North Weinbach Avenue.
