Prevention,
Retention and Contingency (PRC) or ASSET Program
The
PRC/ASSET program helps families overcome immediate obstacles
to achieving or maintaining self-sufficiency. The program
provides benefits and services to families who are in need
of help with essential support to become self-sufficient.
The PRC Program is designed to:
•
Prevent families from having to apply for OWF cash assistance
when a crisis arises;
• Help families retain employment by enhancing job
skills, overcoming barriers and providing short-term assistance
or wage supplementation if necessary.
• Provide for emergent needs by helping families with
nonrecurring urgent problems that could, if left unattended,
result in families needing long-term public assistance;
• Support families receiving OWF with services to
enable them to become self-sufficient.
Examples
of short-term assistance available through PRC include;
housing and rent assistance, utility assistance, transportation
assistance for working families, and other services available
to unemployed families.
