Bucks County Opportunity Council, Administration Office

The focus of our Emergency Prevention and Stabilization program is to help people in Bucks County overcome barriers (homelessness, eviction, or utility shutoff) to self-sufficiency and limit future need for help. An experienced Self-Sufficiency Coach will work with you to assess the emergency, stabilize the situation and develop a plan to prevent future emergencies. Individuals and families with annual household income at or below 200% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Income Guideline ($41,560 for a household of three) may be eligible for one-time assistance to prevent or stabilize an emergency situation.
