Prevention, Retention and Contingency Program

Prevention, Retention and Contingency Program

There may still be help available, even if you don't qualify for food stamps, cash assistance or Medicaid coverage.

Individuals may not qualify for public assistance due to certain short-term difficulties, but help could still be available through the PRC or Prevention, Retention and Contingency Program. The PRC Program is designed to assist residents with a short-term or immediate need, such as rent to prevent eviction or emergency money to pay an electric bill to prevent a service shut-off.

Who is eligible?

The PRC program may be available to residents who:

• Have a child living in the home or a woman who is at least six months pregnant

• And have a household income up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level.
