Formula Grant 265GA403S2520

The Department of Human Services Financial Services Division, on behalf of Georgia, received a $178,629 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, CFDA 10.561) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The funding is designated specifically for SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) 50% Partial Reimbursement, which supports the administrative costs and operational expenses associated with Georgia's SNAP E&T program.

The grant enables the state agency to deliver employment and training services to SNAP participants through its sub-awardee, Goodwill of North Georgia, Inc. Goodwill provides direct employment and training services to individuals facing barriers to employment, including job training, career counseling, and participant reimbursement to support SNAP recipients in achieving employment outcomes. This formula-based annual award represents the state's share of federal E&T funding designed to expand workforce development capacity and improve employment prospects for low-income SNAP participants in Georgia.
