Formula Grant 255GA403S2514

This is a $124,035,208 formula grant awarded 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). The grant provides financial assistance to the Georgia Department of Human Services to cover administrative costs associated with operating SNAP, including eligibility determination, benefit issuance, employment and training services, outreach, nutrition education, and program integrity efforts.

The grant supports a network of sub-awardees, including non-profit organizations, community action agencies, and local government entities, to extend SNAP service delivery across Georgia. These sub-awardees provide critical SNAP outreach, prescreening, training, and distribution of educational materials to increase enrollment among potential and eligible clients. Some sub-awardees also assist with administering USDA food distribution programs, such as the Emergency Food Assistance Program, to serve low-income populations.
