Township Trustee Candidate Forum

Each Indiana township has an elected trustee whose job is to help people in need. This assistance, also known as “poor relief,” is meant to cover essentials like rent, utilities, food, and medical care during times of crisis. The goal of this relief is simple: to ensure township residents who face emergencies, like eviction or homelessness, get the support they need to stay safe and secure.

In the Spring of 2024, a coalition of service providers, legal and faith-based organizations investigated how Marion County trustees handle requests for help and where the system is breaking down. What we found was a system falling short and released
Marion County Township Trustees: Opportunities Seized; Opportunities Missed.

Trustees are elected officials and we should know whether or not they're going to work for us. Join us at this Township Trustee Candidate Forum. Prepare for your vote!

Hear from candidates for Township Trustee about how they plan to serve residents in their districts.
