This federal Formula Grant award of $15,768,245.91 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service is provided under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (CFDA 10.561). The grant supports critical administrative activities for the Colorado Department of Human Services, including eligibility determination, benefit issuance, employment and training services, outreach, nutrition education, and program integrity efforts. These funds enable the department to deliver nutrition assistance to low-income individuals and families in Colorado while promoting self-sufficiency through workforce development initiatives. The grant provides funding for the department to operate the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) program, also known as the Employment First (EF) program in Colorado. Through numerous sub-awards, the department engages a range of partners, such as non-profit organizations, community colleges, workforce development agencies, and employment service providers, to deliver job-seeking skills training, work experience, and monthly job search support activities to SNAP participants. The goal is to help SNAP recipients gain skills, training, and work experience to increase their ability to obtain regular employment leading to economic self-sufficiency.
