Summary

PROS staff reported 50 participants and plans to extend group sessions from 12 to 14 weeks, expand community groups and work with DSS to become an HRA hub to allow certain SNAP recipients to meet work requirements through PROS activities.

Lillian Fazi, PROS Employment Specialist, told the subcommittee there are "50 PROS participants including prescreens" and staff are preparing Spring and Summer schedules.

Fazi said the program is considering extending group sessions from 12 to 14 weeks, expanding community groups, and is "working with DSS to have PROS become an HRA hub allowing individuals to complete their work requirements if they receive SNAP benefits and are labeled as an able body to work." No timeline or funding details for the HRA hub arrangement were provided in the minutes.

The update focused on program operations and access; no vote or formal action on the schedule or the HRA hub plan was recorded in the transcript.
