About this Event

Registration and a light breakfast will begin at 8:30 AM. The training will be led by Julie Villarreal. Lunch will be provided. This class is designed with newly elected Township Supervisors and new staff in mind. Instruction will include how to set up and adopt the TSI GA and EA Handbooks, an explanation of the interviewing process to determine eligibility, information on how to complete the required legal notices and Budget Computation Worksheets. Lastly, the class will impart the importance of referring residents to other programs or services which may be helpful to them, as required by both the GA and EA Handbooks.

Julie Villarreal is the Director of General Assistance at Wheeling Township. Her department qualifies needy residents for assistance and is an information and referral resource for other services. Besides General Assistance and Emergency Assistance, Julie is responsible for a myriad of other township services, including Food Pantry, LIHEAP, seasonal programs, Mobile Dental Clinic, SNAP applications and Access to Care. With over 30 years of experience in the social services field, she has extensive knowledge of local, state and federal programs designed to help those in financial crisis.
