Tefap farm bill

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Oregon Department of Human Services $138,499 on June 9, 2026, under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) formula grant (CFDA 10.568).

The award funds storage and distribution costs incurred by TEFAP to issue USDA Foods to low-income persons in Oregon. The funding is allocated to the state based on a legislatively-mandated formula accounting for Oregon's relative share of the national population with income below the poverty level (60 percent weight) and unemployed persons (40 percent weight). Oregon must make at least 40 percent of the administrative grant available to emergency feeding organizations or expend such funds on their behalf.

The award covers the period from June 9, 2026, through June 8, 2027, with place of performance in Oregon. The assistance type is a formula grant. ODHS, the state-designated distributing agency, receives the funds through electronic transfer as needed for actual expenditures on a fiscal year basis. Any funds not used are returned to the federal government for reallocation according to the formula.
