RENT & UTILITY ASSISTANCE
Rent Assistance
Rent and utility assistance is a program that can help you stay housed by assisting you with rent and/or utilities at a time of hardship. Please complete the application on our website (listed above) and gather the required documents and drop it off at The Primavera Foundation Resource Center (702 S. 6th Ave) or email it to evictionprevention@primavera.org.

If you need assistance with the application or have questions please visit the Homelessness Intervention and Prevention drop in center at 702 S 6th Ave on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday between 9:00am and 12:30pm.

You may be eligible for the program if you meet the following criteria:

    You have been issued a 5-day eviction notice.
    You have not received rent assistance in the past 12 months.

    You have the ability to pay next month’s rent.
    Your income meets the program qualifications.

If you submit an application and do not hear from Primavera within 5 days, we are not able to assist you for that month.  If you still need assistance the following month, please email evictionpervention@primavera.org or stop by HIP to re-activate your application for the following month.
Utility Assistance

Using the same application as you would for rental assistance, Primavera can also provide
assistance through the Home Energy Assistance Fund to low-income Arizona families and
struggling households to pay energy bills from Southwest Gas. This includes: current and past
due charges, including deposits, late charges, reestablishment fees, and other related costs and
fees.
