Emergency Financial Assistance

Emergency Financial Assistance

Because of the high cost of living in Pacifica and the Bay Area, many of us are struggling to pay our rent, mortgage, and other household bills.  PRC can help. 

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

If you get behind on your rent or mortgage, we may be able to provide a grant to help cover past due rent or mortgage payments and keep you in your home. If you're moving, even outside of the Pacifica are, we may be able to assist with security deposits. Average grants are $2,500.

If you're behind on utility bills, PRC can help connect you to programs for one-time payments for bills such as PG&E, Recology, and water.

And, if we don’t provide the resources in house, we will provide referrals for services.

Please call for a confidential assessment at (650) 738-7470 or complete our quick, secure, and fully confidential form below to start the process.

Please note: Grants are limited - you must be able to show you can continue to pay your rent, mortgage, or utilities after funding is provided.

All PRC services are confidential and start with a thorough needs assessment. We will work together to assess your current situation and identify what you need to achieve your goals and build greater stability.

Pet Clinic

Pet Clinic

Did you know that once a month PRC hosts a Vet Clinic to care for our clients' furry companions? Clients can schedule appointments to bring in their cats or dogs for check-ups and vaccinations at no cost.

If a pet requires specialized care, the Rockaway Ricky Memorial Fund provides essential resources to support the pets of Pacificans in need.

Please note that we happily accept donations of new, unopened, and unexpired cat or dog food to ensure that all pets that are in need within our community receive the compassionate care that they deserve—because #TogetherWeArePRC.
