Phoenix offers SNAP application support amid Arizona’s steep drop in enrollment
New initiative offers assistance completing SNAP applications and submitting renewals, guidance on meeting the work requirements and post-application support. Phoenix, Arizona, is offering free assistance for residents to navigate the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNP), or SNAP, following a sharp drop in enrollment due to federal cuts. The city's new initiative, SNAP Navigation Support initiative, provides one-on-one assistance for one-hour assistance in completing SNAP applications and submitting renewals, guidance on meeting the work requirements and post-application support. The initiative aims to prevent children from going hungry and support families and seniors struggling with high cost of food. The cost-sharing requirement of the law, which requires stricter work requirements to qualify for the federal food aid program, is expected to significantly impact the SNAP program once it becomes a cost-share requirement.
