Targeted SNAP Outreach IV RFP

Issue Date:
03/04/2022, Updated 04/18/22
Description:

The purpose of the T-SNAP Outreach Program RFP is to secure the services of eligible organizations to develop and implement innovative ways to connect potentially eligible individuals with SNAP benefits in areas of the state that are underserved. This RFP seeks outreach to geographic areas of the State that have not previously been served with SNAP Outreach activities or which are underserved. Additionally, some categories of low-income people who are eligible for the SNAP program do not participate and thus forgo nutrition assistance that could stretch their food dollars at the grocery store. The goals of SNAP Outreach are to help people make an informed decision about whether to apply for SNAP, and ultimately to increase participation by eligible non-participating individuals and families. This outreach RFP is focused particularly on reaching the newly unemployed, working poor, elderly, legal immigrants, and those who do not apply for the program because they believe that they are ineligible and/or likely to receive only a small monthly allotment.
