The Prevention, Retention, and Contingency (PRC) program is designed to help families residing in Summit County overcome immediate barriers to achieving or maintaining self-sufficiency. The PRC program has become a critical tool for Ohio counties to help families become and stay self-supporting.
PRC is a non-assistance program that provides services and nonrecurring, short-term, crisis-oriented benefits that are directly related to the following four purposes of the TANF program (reference 45 CFR 260.20), which do not meet the federal definition of assistance.
Summit County partners with our local nonprofit organizations to fund a variety or programs that are focused on supporting working families within our community.
Eligibility for PRC services are dependent upon the following: completion of a TANF Services application, United States citizenship or qualified alien status, Summit County residency, no SCDJFS TANF intentional program violation (IPV), a minor child (or pregnant individual) and economic need. Economic need for services may be established if each AG member, at the time of application, is in receipt of OWF and/or SNAP benefits and is verified to be below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
