In 2024, Project BRAVO served 8,013 households and 18,920 individuals. Due to the high volume of applications, we pause accepting applications once we have enough to fill up two months worth of intake appointments.
The application process is currently
OPEN
Applications can be submitted at any Project BRAVO center. It can take 4-6 weeks from when the application is accepted to receive assistance.
If you have a disconnection notice, please make arrangements with the utility companies to avoid disruption of services.
If you submitted a complete 2025 application earlier this year, you do not have to reapply. You should be assisted within 1-4 weeks.
