Emergency Rental and Utilities Assistance Program
In trying times like these, we are here to help. The Prince George’s County 2021 Emergency Rental and Utilities Assistance Program (ERAP) helps households experiencing financial difficulty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ERAP helps provide payment assistance to residents who are struggling to pay rent or afford utilities. If you need assistance you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Applications will be accepted until funds are exhausted. For more information, please visit https://bit.ly/307dlfx.
How to Identify Legitimate Food Vendors
While we are happy to support local businesses, it is important to accurately identify legitimate food trucks. Make sure to look for: a valid and current Health Department issued decal placed on the truck or trailer body, not on the cab of the truck. Additionally, the mobile unit’s name should be a minimum of three inches in contrasting color, on the exterior body of the mobile unit. The name, city, and state accompanied with the telephone number should also be visible, with letters a minimum of three inches. Public vending of food from manually propelled mobile units is prohibited on public rights-of way and on public property except for mobile units that are authorized as participants of a designated Food Truck Hub or as permitted at an event which has been issued a Temporary Use Permit from the Prince George's County Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE). For more information, please call the Health Department at 301-883-7690.
