In the Spotlight
A new FRAC report examines the growing evidence that SNAP is one of the nation’s most effective public health interventions, improving food security, health, and well-being while reducing long-term public costs. The report also warns that recent federal and state policy changes threaten these gains by restricting access, weakening administration, and increasing food insecurity.
More schools are using the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) to offer free school breakfast and lunch to all students, helping reduce hunger, support learning, and ease financial strain on families. The report also warns that recent SNAP cuts could make it harder for schools to qualify for and sustain CEP, threatening gains in access to healthy school meals.
