Cap csfp-admin grants to STS

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the New Mexico Health Care Authority (Department of Human Services) $1,059,557 in formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CFDA 10.565) to administer distribution of supplemental USDA food packages to eligible low-income elderly persons at least 60 years of age throughout New Mexico. The award covers the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. As the state agency administering CSFP, the Health Care Authority receives both USDA Foods and administrative funds to distribute through local public and nonprofit agencies such as food banks and community action organizations. The program operates in partnership with local agencies and tribal governments to deliver supplemental food packages that augment—but do not constitute a complete diet for—participating beneficiaries. The Commodity Supplemental Food Program operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and eight federally recognized Indian Tribal Organizations.
