Dear Mr. Shenk:

 

On December 8, 2016, The Providence Service Corporation (the “Company”) received your letter (the “Comment Letter”) setting forth the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Form 10-Q filed by the Company on November 9, 2016.

 

The Comment Letter requests that the Company respond to the Staff’s comments within ten business days or to advise you when the Company will provide its response. The Company has reviewed the Staff’s comments and has begun preparation of its response. However, the Company will require additional time to consider and respond fully to the Staff’s comments. Accordingly, as we discussed with Theresa Brillant, the Company respectfully requests an extension of the time to respond to the Staff’s comments. The Company expects to provide its response to the Commission no later than January 11, 2017, and will endeavor to submit the response earlier if feasible.

 

If you have any questions relating to the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me at (203) 307-2801 or dshackelton@prscholdings.com.
