The Department of Social Services Connecticut received a $3,913,000 Formula Grant from 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). The grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, supports the state agency's administrative costs for operating SNAP, including eligibility determination, benefit issuance, employment and training services, outreach, and nutrition education. The state agency has issued several sub-awards to local organizations to extend SNAP service delivery. These sub-awards, ranging from $24,000 to $1.5 million, fund short-term (2 years or less) employment and training programs that provide a direct link to employment for eligible SNAP recipients not receiving cash assistance. Sub-grantees include the Connecticut Center for Arts & Technology, Connecticut State Community College, New London Homeless Hospitality Center, and Goodwin University, which offer vocational training, case management, job search support, and other services to help SNAP participants achieve self-sufficiency.
