Prescott CARES Program

City of Prescott launches  “Prescott CARES” Program.  The city has been awarded a $427,000 grant to help Prescott residents and businesses impacted by the pandemic. Funds will help qualifying Prescott residents with rent, mortgage and utility payments and support struggling businesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought economic uncertainty to many individuals, families and businesses, both locally and around the world. Beginning April 19, 2021, Prescott residents and businesses can apply for emergency funds through the new Prescott CARES program. The program was created to help individuals and families maintain
stable housing and keep businesses viable within the community.

“We look forward to helping those residents and business owners who are in need. "We can also help with any questions by calling 928.445.2000,” stated Michelle Chavez, CDBG and Community Development Coordinator with the City of Prescott. “We’ve also set-up a grant workshop via ZOOM, or people can come in person to the City of Prescott Council Chambers on Thursday, April 15 at 4:00pm or Friday, April 16 at 9:00am. This should help residents and business owners apply for the grant and they can ask any questions,” Chavez continued.
