Cap csfp-admin grants to STS

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Idaho Commission On Aging $222,504 on October 1, 2025, under the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CFDA 10.565) for administrative grants supporting food distribution to eligible elderly participants.

The award funds state-level program administration for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which supplies supplemental food packages to low-income elderly persons aged 60 and older throughout Idaho. The Idaho Commission On Aging, the state's designated State Agency on Aging, receives the award as the prime recipient and distributes USDA Foods and administrative funds to local agencies—including food banks and community action organizations—that deliver food packages directly to eligible participants.

The award period runs through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Idaho. This is a formula grant allocation under the mandatory funding structure established by federal regulation and legislation; Idaho's entitlement is determined by the priorities and funding formulas set forth in program regulations. The Idaho Commission On Aging maintains the federal-state agreement with USDA and operates a cascading sub-award structure, channeling resources downward to Area Agencies on Aging and nonprofit community service providers at the regional and local level for direct service delivery.
