Snap nutrition obesity grant

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration was awarded a $6.56 million Formula Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023.

The grant funding will support the state's administration of SNAP and employment and training programs by covering costs incurred operating the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Specifically, the funding will help provide food assistance and employment services to low-income families and individuals in Indiana through the state's Medicaid program. As a Formula Grant, the funding amount was determined based on a pre-established formula and will help the state defray expenses associated with managing federal nutrition benefits and employment initiatives over the two year award period.
