Maine Township General Assistance Program

Maine Township's General Assistance program was created to serve the needs of our financially distressed residents. Our goal is to help prevent temporary financial difficulty from becoming a devastating or life-shattering event. We strive to help Maine Township residents get back on their feet as quickly as possible by requiring and assisting those who are able to find meaningful employment. We simultaneously provide assistance in the form of food, personal essentials, rent, transportation, utilities, and clothing. In certain cases we provide medical assistance and money for necessities including funerals. Applicants are eligible for these benefits if they have depleted all of their assets and have no more than $1,000 in any account and if they do not qualify for unemployment or other government assistance.
