Formula Grant 248VA000S8205

This $1,216,370 Formula Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561), supports the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) in administering critical activities for the SNAP program. The funding, which covers the period from September 2024 to September 2027, enables APHSA to deliver services such as eligibility determination, benefit issuance, employment and training, outreach, and program integrity efforts to promote nutrition assistance and self-sufficiency for low-income individuals and families. As a sub-recipient, APHSA also collaborates with Harvard College on a research project to evaluate pandemic-era SNAP expansion policies, contributing to the evidence base for effective nutrition assistance policy.
