Cap tefap admin grts to STS

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oregon Department of Human Services $1,021,163 on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant (CFDA 10.568). The award funds storage and distribution costs incurred by the TEFAP in Oregon through September 30, 2026. Oregon must make available at least 40 percent of the administrative grant to emergency feeding organizations or expend such funds on their behalf. Funds are provided through electronic transfer as needed for actual expenditures on a fiscal-year basis; any funds not used are returned to the federal government and reallocated according to the legislatively mandated formula based on each state's relative share of persons with income below the poverty level (60 percent weight) and unemployed persons (40 percent weight). The award is administered by the DHS OFS Director's Office Division and may be sub-awarded to county governments, Area Agencies on Aging, nonprofit organizations, community-based service providers, and regional entities to support local-level service delivery.
