Summary: SNAP E&T 50% Operational Grant Award

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Michigan Department of Health and Human Services a formula grant of $2.39 million under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) 50% Operational Grant funds the state agency's operational costs associated with administering and delivering SNAP E&T services to eligible program participants in Michigan. The E&T program provides employment and training initiatives designed to improve participant workforce readiness and economic self-sufficiency through skills development, job placement assistance, and related support services.

As Michigan's principal public health and human services agency, MDHHS typically serves as the pass-through entity, sub-awarding portions of the grant to local health departments, non-profit organizations, and community-based service providers to implement E&T programs at the community level. The award requires MDHHS to submit a plan of operation prior to approval, maintain financial records for three years, and comply with single audit requirements as established under the SNAP State Administrative Expenses funding guidelines.
