Cap tefap admin grts to STS

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services $207,709 on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant (CFDA 10.568).

The funding supports storage and distribution costs for USDA Foods issued through the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). New Hampshire receives its allocation under a legislatively-mandated formula based on the state's relative share of persons with income below the poverty level (60 percent weight) and unemployed persons (40 percent weight). The state must make available at least 40 percent of administrative grant funds to emergency feeding organizations or expend such funds on their behalf.

Performance period runs through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services administers the state's TEFAP entitlement, distributing resources to regional Area Agencies on Aging, community action agencies, local health departments, nonprofit organizations, and community-based service providers executing food assistance delivery statewide. Funds transfer electronically as needed for actual expenditures on a fiscal-year basis; unobligated amounts revert to the federal government for reallocation.
