information for practice

The Public Benefits Resource Center (PBRC) untangles the complexities of the government benefit system by providing technical assistance to social service professionals and direct assistance to families and individuals seeking help. PBRC maintains information on over 70 government benefit programs for diverse populations, including the elderly, the poor, and those with disabilities. We disseminate this information through training, publications, and client services, ensuring that the most vulnerable New Yorkers secure the needed public benefits for which they are entitled.
