The Indiana Township Association is committed to see that ALL Indiana Townships receive guidance and support during this time of crisis. We are diligently working to develop tools for use by local township trustees, township boards and township personnel in order to serve and protect the citizens of their townships.
Trustees Are Asked to Participate in Indiana’s COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program
On June 24th, Governor Holcomb announced the “Indiana COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program” which is intended to decrease evictions and increase housing stability by helping renters whose income has been adversely affected by COVID-19. The Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority will be administering this program beginning July 13th.
RAF PowerPoint for Provider Recruitment
Township Trustees may elect to be a “Participating Provider” and act as a liaison between the IHCDA and the landlords. We may also elect to assist clients with the completion of the application.
