In mid-May, the House is expected to vote on a Farm Bill that will take food off the tables of very large numbers of families across the country.The House Farm Bill would slash SNAP benefits for more than 1 million low-income, struggling households, increase hunger and poverty, and reduce economic growth and productivity in communities across the country.
FRAC has joined with a diverse group of national organizations to launch the Opportunity Starts at Home campaign to expand affordable housing options for America’s most vulnerable communities.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are federally funded programs that bring more buying power for food and other necessities into low-income households.
