This grant, offered by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is for the purpose of identifying successful models to expand access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) among two key underserved populations. Specifically, it targets eligible households with elderly members (aged 60 and older) and eligible households with adult members who are working or actively seeking employment, often referred to as working poor households. The program seeks to test a wider range of approaches on a larger scale, building upon previous research that demonstrated the feasibility of increasing SNAP participation among low-income elderly individuals. The ultimate goal is to develop effective strategies for reaching and serving these vulnerable populations, ensuring greater food security.
