Orland assistance programs

General assistance helps with rent and other bills
Almost $400,000 is being added to the general assistance fund, which is a township program that offers state-mandated help to those who are struggling in the current economic environment and also offers help to the poor. In addition, general assistance from Orland can also provide emergency bill relief to qualified residents.

This year, the type of assistance being offered has increased. For example, there are many newly added categories of aid that are being offered, such as job training and mortgage assistance. This  additional programs should help the township get assistance to more people than in previous years.
