The Prevention Fund

Since its inception in 2008 as part of the Middlesex County Coalition on Housing & Homelessness, the Prevention Fund has provided approximately $400,000 in assistance—helping hundreds of local families and individuals avoid homelessness. By covering essential expenses like back rent, utilities, car repairs, and other urgent needs, the fund ensures that families in crisis can remain stable and secure in their homes. 

Please note: The Prevention Fund is not a direct assistance program to individuals. Funds are distributed through Middlesex United Way’s network of community partners and are intended for emergency situations where a small amount of support can prevent homelessness or prevent a crisis situation. Reaching out to Middlesex United Way does not guarantee financial assistance.
