Snap tefap - grants to states

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded $1.901 million to Administracion De Desarrollo Socioeconomico De La Familia on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant (CFDA 10.568). The award funds storage and distribution costs for USDA Foods delivered through TEFAP in Puerto Rico through September 30, 2026.

Administracion De Desarrollo Socioeconomico De La Familia, Puerto Rico's territorial social services agency, uses these administrative funds to support TEFAP operations across the territory. The formula allocation reflects Puerto Rico's proportional share of low-income and unemployed populations under the congressionally mandated distribution methodology: 60 percent based on persons below the poverty level and 40 percent based on unemployment. At minimum, the recipient must make at least 40 percent of the awarded administrative funds available to emergency feeding organizations, including food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens, or expend such funds on their behalf. The recipient maintains three-year record retention for all receipts and dispersals related to program administration and sub-awards.
