The grant funding supports the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), which provides federal assistance to state agencies for costs incurred to operate the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, the funds will support Colorado's Employment First program, which administers SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) services to help SNAP participants gain skills and work experience to obtain sustainable employment and economic self-sufficiency. Through a subaward of $150,000, The Park People nonprofit organization will deliver E&T services as a third-party partner, leveraging its expertise to provide job training, work experience and job search support activities to SNAP recipients.
