Colorado Faces Food Security Crisis Amid Federal Shutdown: Joint Budget Committee Scrambles for Solutions
- Meeting Overview:
Overview: The Colorado Joint Budget Committee meeting focused on addressing the immediate food security crisis resulting from a federal government shutdown that paused Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. A request for an interim supplemental allocation of $10 million from the general fund to support the Community Food Assistance Providers Grant Program was presented. This measure aims to mitigate the impact on Coloradans, particularly the 600,000 individuals reliant on SNAP benefits, half of whom are children.
