The document discusses two key federal programs that aim to fight poverty in the United States: SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) and housing assistance. It analyzes these programs' impact, strengths, and weaknesses. SNAP lifted over 39 million people above the poverty line in 2017, including over 8 million children, though it benefits white people more than other races. It has economic benefits but limited enrollment and restricted eligible food items. The document recommends expanding SNAP to cover more low-income people impacted by COVID-19 and distribute benefits more equitably across races.

FINAL CAPSTONE
The document discusses obesity rates among Native American populations, focusing on Spirit Lake Reservation in North Dakota. It notes that American Indians have the highest obesity rates of any ethnic group in the US. At Spirit Lake, over 75% of students receive meals through federally-funded school food programs, and one analyzed school lunch contained unhealthy levels of sodium and saturated fat while being low in vitamins. Residents rely on SNAP and FDPIR benefits for food, but these provide calorie-dense, nutrient-poor options with little nutrition education. To address this, the document proposes a pilot program to establish family gardens and an integrated local food system on the reservation to increase access to fresh foods and healthy living education.
Introduction Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) .docx
Introduction
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has served as the foundation of America's national nutrition safety net, working to end hunger and improve the health of low-income people by helping families buy the food they need for a nutritionally adequate diet.

Qualification
In order to qualify, you must have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below the following amounts:
Household SizeMaximum Income Level (Per Year)1$15,4442$20,8263$26,2084$31,5905$36,9726$42,3547$47,7498$53,157
According to the South Carolina Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The benefits are not intended to cover all of a family's food costs, but will lessen the amount of income that must be used toward groceries each month. Families, people living alone, and people living with roommates use SNAP. People who are homeless can get SNAP benefits too. People of all ages are a part of SNAP.
For households with more than eight people, add $5,408 per additional person. Always check with the appropriate managing agency to ensure the most accurate guidelines.

Editorial
1) Hunger affects millions of Americans each year, including difficulties affording food and choosing which family members eat. Hunger can cause lasting health and academic problems for children.
2) While government programs like SNAP provide $84 billion annually to aid hunger, there is debate over costs and fraud. Local food banks help fill gaps by providing food to those ineligible for federal programs.
3) Individuals can help by volunteering, donating food or money to local food banks, or contacting representatives to support anti-hunger efforts. Working together through various means can make progress against hunger in communities.

Programs such as SNAP and Section 8 Housing definitely assist low income families financially, but I don't believe these programs are working effectively to reduce the poverty rate. With the exception of countries like Mexico and Turkey, the United States is one of the highest ranking poverty rates in the entire world.
Poverty cannot be completely eliminated. However, there are several ways to reduce and improve it. One way is by developing and implementing rapid and sustained economic growth policies and programs, in areas such as health, education, nutrition and sanitation. Then, allowing the poor to participate and contribute to the growth. Another is to allow the impoverished to empowering themselves by involving them in the development and implementation of plans and programs to reduce and eradicate poverty. Their involvement ensures that programs reflect those things that are important to them. Creating and improving access to jobs and income, developing entrepreneurial talent, and providing access to technology/innovation are steps that can be taken toward reducing poverty in the world. The key to reducing poverty is education. Given the strong connection between educational success and economic disadvantage, we might expect education policy to focus on ways to overcome the effects of poverty. The primary question lingering with me is "should alleviating poverty be the primary purpose of our public schools?" I just can't come up with a clear answer. Yes, poor people absolutely need more education and skill training, but they also need an economic context wherein they can realize the economic returns from their improved human capital. Over the past few decades, the set of institutions and norms that historically maintained the link between skills and incomes have been diminished, particularly for non-college-educated workers. Restoring their strength and status is essential if we want the poor to reap the benefits they deserve from educational advancement.
With that said, I believe the TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) needs a considerable overhaul. States’ primary performance measure under TANF, the work participation rate, discourages states from assisting families in the greatest need. States are more likely to meet the rate if they assist families that already have some education, skills, and/or ...

The document discusses the Cooking Matters program, which had nearly 250 graduates in 2013 and aims to teach nutrition education. It also discusses the SUNShine Box program, which provides monthly food boxes to low-income seniors, and now serves 130 more seniors after an increased caseload. Retail grocery store donation programs provided nearly 700,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest last year, including meat, produce, and dairy.
Hunger and Food Insecurity
The document discusses hunger and food insecurity in the United States. It provides definitions of hunger and food insecurity and explores their causes and scope. While the US produces enough food for everyone, millions face hunger due to poverty, lack of access to nutritious foods, and insufficient social programs. The pandemic has greatly increased food insecurity, especially among communities of color. Solutions proposed include raising wages, expanding and increasing SNAP benefits, addressing systemic racism, and taking a holistic approach across policy areas.

ReviPoverty policy issues
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured using thresholds and guidelines, and analyzes poverty levels and the impact of government assistance programs. Specific agencies that help the poor are also outlined, including how healthcare reform like the Affordable Care Act and Promise Zone initiatives aim to reduce poverty rates. Wealth inequality in the U.S. is significant as shown in an included video.
Food Stamps Essay
The Food Stamp program began in the 1930s during the Great Depression to help distribute surplus agricultural goods to those in need. It has since evolved into a major government assistance program, providing about $75 billion annually to over 44 million low-income Americans. While critics argue it contributes to obesity and lack of motivation to work, studies show it successfully reduces food insecurity among children. Reforms aim to improve nutrition education and restrict unhealthy foods, though access to food should remain the top priority for those in poverty.
Poverty policy issues
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured officially using poverty thresholds that vary by family size and composition. The document also outlines government assistance programs like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, as well as initiatives like Promise Zones to help reduce poverty. Maps show higher poverty rates exist in more populated areas and cities.
Public food assistance assg.
The document discusses the debate around proposed cuts to US food assistance programs like SNAP and school lunch programs. It outlines the positions of both supporters and opponents of cuts. President Trump and the USDA argue that cuts could save money and reduce fraud. However, Senators, activists, and protesters warn that cuts will increase food insecurity and harm vulnerable groups like low-income families, children, and veterans. Research suggests food assistance programs help reduce poverty, healthcare costs, and have economic benefits for local communities.
The farm bill 2013 stl food bank
The Farm Bill is comprehensive legislation that authorizes funding for federal food and farm policies and is renewed every five years. It aims to ensure a stable food supply, protect farmers, provide nutrition assistance, support rural development and conserve resources. The current bill includes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), which helps low-income Americans. SNAP is the largest hunger relief program and helps many out of poverty. The 2012 Farm Bill proposals in Congress would cut SNAP funding and restrict eligibility, potentially removing benefits for millions of individuals. Advocates urge supporting and protecting SNAP.
Poverty policy issues
This document discusses poverty policy issues and provides information on defining and measuring poverty, the history of poverty in America, health insurance programs and the Affordable Care Act, poverty assistance agencies, and poverty rates. It defines poverty as having little income or means of support, and notes that poverty is most severe in populated cities and states. The document outlines how poverty is officially measured and lists many government agencies that provide assistance to the poor.

The document discusses efforts to combat hunger and obesity among low-income families through SNAP pilot programs. It outlines five current pilot programs in New York, Oregon, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan that provide matching funds for SNAP recipients to purchase fresh foods at farmers markets. The pilots have increased healthy food access and SNAP spending at farmers markets, but combining them with nutrition education could more effectively address the problems. Policymakers should support expanding similar pilots nationally along with other SNAP initiatives.
Michigan EBT
The document discusses changes to Michigan's food assistance program that will no longer allow college attendance alone to qualify recipients for benefits. Supporters argue it aligns with the program's purpose of helping those in need and decreases waste, while opponents say some students will suffer without enough assistance from family. Statistics show around 20,000 of the 1.9 million recipients in Michigan may be impacted. The document examines perspectives on both sides and provides recommendations.
California pays a lot for health care, not so much for keeping people healthy
California spends a lot on health care to treat its residents, but relatively little to ensure they are healthy, according to a new report. In 2018, for every $1 that California spent on health care services, it spent just $0.68 on other aspects of health, including social and public health services. That “other” figure is down by nearly half — from $1.22 — since 2007. While California’s total health care spending has grown nearly 150% since that year, spending on other services grew by around 40%. The report’s authors say that the state could rein in some of its $119 billion budget by cutting back on wasted costs, including unnecessary medical services. But it could also invest in community aspects of care tied to improved health, including raising the minimum wage and investing in public health, education, and other social programs.
Usa poverty
Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.

COMMENTARY
Hunger in a “Land of Plenty”: A Renewed Call for
Social Work Action
Kathryn Libal, Stephen Monroe Tomczak, Robin Spath, and Scott Harding
Over the past three decades levels of pov-erty in the United States have remainedlargely stagnant and various forms of
social inequality have increased. Simultaneously,
social welfare programs to ensure social protec-
tion have contracted through conservative political
mobilization to “downsize big government.” When
the economic recession hit in 2007, Food Stamps
(renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Action Pro-
gram, or SNAP, in 2009) became one of the most
important social benefits available to affected indi-
viduals and families. By 2009, when President
Barack Obama took office, some 32 million indi-
viduals used SNAP to meet basic food needs. High
unemployment, underemployment, instability in
the housing market, and widespread home loan
foreclosures have led to unprecedented participa-
tion in food assistance programs by low-income
or poor individuals and families (Hoefer & Curry,
2012). The rate of households affected by food
insecurity in 2012 was 14.5 percent, a significant
increase from an average of 11 percent in years
immediately prior to the recession (Coleman-
Jensen, Nord, & Singh, 2013; Nord, Andrews, &
Carlson, 2008).SNAP usage and expenditures have
grown rapidly since 2009 to meet this increased
demand. In 2013 more than 47 million individuals,
approximately one in six people in the United
States, received SNAP benefits, reflecting ongoing
economic hardship (Food Research and Action
Center, n.d.). Moreover, a deeper crisis of food
insecurity is suggested by low participation rates in
SNAP—only 79 percent of those eligible received
benefits in 2011 (the latest date for which data are
available; note also that only 39 percent of elderly
and 42 percent of eligible individuals with incomes
above the poverty level participated; Food and
Nutrition Service, Office of Policy Support, 2014).
In this context, rising opposition to the SNAP
program and other vital social supports should be
cause for action by social work educators and prac-
titioners. In 2013, one member of Congress argued
for substantial cuts to SNAP on biblical grounds,
citing 2 Thessalonians: “The one who is unwilling
to work shall not eat” (Fincher, 2013). Stereotyping
of food aid recipients as loafers or undeserving of
government assistance occurs not only in the halls
of Congress, but also in conservative news outlets,
in which it has reached a fever pitch. And, with little
organized advocacy by social work professional
organizations, many in Congress aim to transform
the federal SNAP program to a block grant, follow-
ing the model that dismantled Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, popularly known as AFDC,
in the 1990s.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79),
popularly known as the Farm Bill, included changes
in the SNAP application process that may result in
up to $8.5 billion in cuts to the SNAP program ...

The document explores implementing mandatory advance health care directives for Medicare beneficiaries as a strategy to reduce astronomical end-of-life medical costs. It notes that without changes, Medicare spending could grow to over 1/3 of GDP by 2030 as baby boomers age. Advance directives allow people to outline their end-of-life wishes in case they become incapacitated. The document argues this could help control costs by limiting unnecessary or unwanted intensive end-of-life treatments for the 5% of Medicare beneficiaries who account for 30-35% of total spending in their final year. It also examines the political and economic implications of making advance directives mandatory for all Medicare recipients.
Faithfully Engaging in the Budget Debate -- May 26, 2011
This document discusses the negative impacts that a cap on overall federal spending would have on programs that support low-income individuals and families. It provides several examples of key programs that would face major cuts, reducing or eliminating benefits for millions of people, including nutrition assistance, Medicaid, housing assistance, and social security. The document emphasizes that such cuts would disproportionately impact women, children, older adults, people of color, and the unemployed. It provides suggestions for actions people can take to oppose arbitrary spending caps and convey these concerns to their elected representatives.

THE RECENT SLOWDOWN IN
THE WAR ON POVERTY 50
YEARS LATER:
A PROGRESS REPORT
The Council of Economic Advisers
January 2014

Executive Summary
“Unfortunately, many Americans live on the outskirts of hope—some because of their poverty,
and some because of their color, and all too many because of both. Our task is to help replace
their despair with opportunity. This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional
war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort.”
- President Lyndon B. Johnson, January 8, 1964
Fifty years ago, in January of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a “War on Poverty”
and introduced initiatives designed to improve the education, health, skills, jobs, and access to
economic resources of those struggling to make ends meet. While there is more work to do, in
the ensuing decades we have strengthened and reformed many of these programs and had
significant success in reducing poverty. In this report, the Council of Economic Advisers presents
evidence of the progress made possible by decades of bipartisan efforts to fight poverty by
expanding economic opportunity and rewarding hard work. We also document some of the
key steps the Obama Administration has taken to further increase opportunity and economic
security by improving key programs while ensuring greater efficiency and integrity. These steps
prevented millions of hardworking Americans from slipping into poverty during the worst
economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Poverty has declined by more than one-third since 1967.
The percent of the population in poverty when measured to include tax credits and
other benefits has declined from 25.8 percent in 1967 to 16.0 percent in 2012.
These figures use new historical estimates of the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty
Measure (SPM) anchored to today’s poverty thresholds. The SPM is widely
acknowledged to measure poverty more accurately than the official poverty measure,
which excludes the value of refundable tax credits and benefits like nutrition assistance
and has other limitations.
By anchoring the measure to today’s poverty standards we are able to ask how many
people in each year since 1967 would have had inflation-adjusted family resources
below the 2012 SPM poverty thresholds.
Despite real progress in the War on Poverty, there is more work to do.
In 2012, there were 49.7 million Americans grappling with the economic and social
hardships of living below the poverty line, including 13.4 million children.
While the United States is often seen as the land of economic opportunity, only about
half of low-income Americans make it out of the lowest income distribution quintile
over a 20-year period. About 40 percent of the differences in parents’ income are
3
reflected in children’s income as they become adults, pointing to strong lingerin.
Literature Review: Nutrition Education, Promotoras, & the Latino/a Population
The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the research exploring the utilization of culturally sensitive nutrition education, specifically studies incorporating promotoras (community health workers) among Latino populations in the U.S. Due to the high prevalence of obesity and its associated diseases among Latinos, there is an urgency to identify interventions that successfully incorporate culturally sensitive interventions in order to better communicate with these individuals.
BPHC Consultant Report
The Boston Public Health Commission aims to help residents meet basic needs like nutritious food. However, federal programs like SNAP have strict income limits that exclude the "threshold population" - those who earn too much to qualify but still struggle with food insecurity due to high living costs. This report develops a Composite Index using multiple food insecurity databases to identify and track the threshold population in Boston.

Who are the clients in Community Health nursing?
Individuals, families, and groups who live in a specific geographic area and may be at risk for health problems or in need of health services are considered clients in community health nursing. People of all ages, from infants to the elderly, as well as those with physical, mental, or social challenges, may be included. The purpose of community health nursing is to promote the health and well-being of the entire community by addressing the health needs of its individual members (Rector & Stanley, 2021). Community health nurses work with clients to identify and address health risks, provide health and wellness education, and connect clients to suitable health services.
What government resources might they be eligible for?
Individuals and families may be eligible for a variety of government resources depending on their circumstances. Some of these resources are intended specifically for people with low incomes or who are experiencing financial hardship, while others are open to anyone who meets certain criteria. Among the resources available to them are (ISPOR, n.d):
1. Medicaid: It is a federal-state partnership program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. Individuals must meet income and asset limits, as well as other requirements, to be eligible.
2. Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP): It is a federally funded program that provides health insurance to low-income children that are not eligible for Medicaid but cannot afford private health insurance. It provides coverage for a variety of medical services, such as preventive care, doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription medications. Eligibility is determined by income and family size.
3. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): It is also known as food stamps and it provides financial assistance to low-income individuals and families in order for them to purchase food. Income and assets, as well as other factors, determine SNAP eligibility.
4. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): This program helps low-income families with children by providing financial assistance as well as other services such as job training and childcare. Income and assets, as well as other factors, determine TANF eligibility.
5. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): It is program funded by the federal government that provides low-income households with financial assistance to help them pay for home energy costs such as heating and cooling. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers the program, which is intended to assist households that are struggling to pay their energy bills and may face having their service disconnected. Eligibility is determined by income and family size.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

ReviPoverty policy issues
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured using thresholds and guidelines, and analyzes poverty levels and the impact of government assistance programs. Specific agencies that help the poor are also outlined, including how healthcare reform like the Affordable Care Act and Promise Zone initiatives aim to reduce poverty rates. Wealth inequality in the U.S. is significant as shown in an included video.
Food Stamps Essay
The Food Stamp program began in the 1930s during the Great Depression to help distribute surplus agricultural goods to those in need. It has since evolved into a major government assistance program, providing about $75 billion annually to over 44 million low-income Americans. While critics argue it contributes to obesity and lack of motivation to work, studies show it successfully reduces food insecurity among children. Reforms aim to improve nutrition education and restrict unhealthy foods, though access to food should remain the top priority for those in poverty.
Poverty policy issues
This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured officially using poverty thresholds that vary by family size and composition. The document also outlines government assistance programs like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, as well as initiatives like Promise Zones to help reduce poverty. Maps show higher poverty rates exist in more populated areas and cities.
Public food assistance assg.
The document discusses the debate around proposed cuts to US food assistance programs like SNAP and school lunch programs. It outlines the positions of both supporters and opponents of cuts. President Trump and the USDA argue that cuts could save money and reduce fraud. However, Senators, activists, and protesters warn that cuts will increase food insecurity and harm vulnerable groups like low-income families, children, and veterans. Research suggests food assistance programs help reduce poverty, healthcare costs, and have economic benefits for local communities.
The farm bill 2013 stl food bank
The Farm Bill is comprehensive legislation that authorizes funding for federal food and farm policies and is renewed every five years. It aims to ensure a stable food supply, protect farmers, provide nutrition assistance, support rural development and conserve resources. The current bill includes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), which helps low-income Americans. SNAP is the largest hunger relief program and helps many out of poverty. The 2012 Farm Bill proposals in Congress would cut SNAP funding and restrict eligibility, potentially removing benefits for millions of individuals. Advocates urge supporting and protecting SNAP.
Poverty policy issues
This document discusses poverty policy issues and provides information on defining and measuring poverty, the history of poverty in America, health insurance programs and the Affordable Care Act, poverty assistance agencies, and poverty rates. It defines poverty as having little income or means of support, and notes that poverty is most severe in populated cities and states. The document outlines how poverty is officially measured and lists many government agencies that provide assistance to the poor.

The document discusses efforts to combat hunger and obesity among low-income families through SNAP pilot programs. It outlines five current pilot programs in New York, Oregon, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan that provide matching funds for SNAP recipients to purchase fresh foods at farmers markets. The pilots have increased healthy food access and SNAP spending at farmers markets, but combining them with nutrition education could more effectively address the problems. Policymakers should support expanding similar pilots nationally along with other SNAP initiatives.
Michigan EBT
The document discusses changes to Michigan's food assistance program that will no longer allow college attendance alone to qualify recipients for benefits. Supporters argue it aligns with the program's purpose of helping those in need and decreases waste, while opponents say some students will suffer without enough assistance from family. Statistics show around 20,000 of the 1.9 million recipients in Michigan may be impacted. The document examines perspectives on both sides and provides recommendations.
California pays a lot for health care, not so much for keeping people healthy
California spends a lot on health care to treat its residents, but relatively little to ensure they are healthy, according to a new report. In 2018, for every $1 that California spent on health care services, it spent just $0.68 on other aspects of health, including social and public health services. That “other” figure is down by nearly half — from $1.22 — since 2007. While California’s total health care spending has grown nearly 150% since that year, spending on other services grew by around 40%. The report’s authors say that the state could rein in some of its $119 billion budget by cutting back on wasted costs, including unnecessary medical services. But it could also invest in community aspects of care tied to improved health, including raising the minimum wage and investing in public health, education, and other social programs.
Usa poverty
Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.

COMMENTARY
Hunger in a “Land of Plenty”: A Renewed Call for
Social Work Action
Kathryn Libal, Stephen Monroe Tomczak, Robin Spath, and Scott Harding
Over the past three decades levels of pov-erty in the United States have remainedlargely stagnant and various forms of
social inequality have increased. Simultaneously,
social welfare programs to ensure social protec-
tion have contracted through conservative political
mobilization to “downsize big government.” When
the economic recession hit in 2007, Food Stamps
(renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Action Pro-
gram, or SNAP, in 2009) became one of the most
important social benefits available to affected indi-
viduals and families. By 2009, when President
Barack Obama took office, some 32 million indi-
viduals used SNAP to meet basic food needs. High
unemployment, underemployment, instability in
the housing market, and widespread home loan
foreclosures have led to unprecedented participa-
tion in food assistance programs by low-income
or poor individuals and families (Hoefer & Curry,
2012). The rate of households affected by food
insecurity in 2012 was 14.5 percent, a significant
increase from an average of 11 percent in years
immediately prior to the recession (Coleman-
Jensen, Nord, & Singh, 2013; Nord, Andrews, &
Carlson, 2008).SNAP usage and expenditures have
grown rapidly since 2009 to meet this increased
demand. In 2013 more than 47 million individuals,
approximately one in six people in the United
States, received SNAP benefits, reflecting ongoing
economic hardship (Food Research and Action
Center, n.d.). Moreover, a deeper crisis of food
insecurity is suggested by low participation rates in
SNAP—only 79 percent of those eligible received
benefits in 2011 (the latest date for which data are
available; note also that only 39 percent of elderly
and 42 percent of eligible individuals with incomes
above the poverty level participated; Food and
Nutrition Service, Office of Policy Support, 2014).
In this context, rising opposition to the SNAP
program and other vital social supports should be
cause for action by social work educators and prac-
titioners. In 2013, one member of Congress argued
for substantial cuts to SNAP on biblical grounds,
citing 2 Thessalonians: “The one who is unwilling
to work shall not eat” (Fincher, 2013). Stereotyping
of food aid recipients as loafers or undeserving of
government assistance occurs not only in the halls
of Congress, but also in conservative news outlets,
in which it has reached a fever pitch. And, with little
organized advocacy by social work professional
organizations, many in Congress aim to transform
the federal SNAP program to a block grant, follow-
ing the model that dismantled Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, popularly known as AFDC,
in the 1990s.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79),
popularly known as the Farm Bill, included changes
in the SNAP application process that may result in
up to $8.5 billion in cuts to the SNAP program ...
Beth Kljajic Thesis 5-19-09
The document explores implementing mandatory advance health care directives for Medicare beneficiaries as a strategy to reduce astronomical end-of-life medical costs. It notes that without changes, Medicare spending could grow to over 1/3 of GDP by 2030 as baby boomers age. Advance directives allow people to outline their end-of-life wishes in case they become incapacitated. The document argues this could help control costs by limiting unnecessary or unwanted intensive end-of-life treatments for the 5% of Medicare beneficiaries who account for 30-35% of total spending in their final year. It also examines the political and economic implications of making advance directives mandatory for all Medicare recipients.
Faithfully Engaging in the Budget Debate -- May 26, 2011
This document discusses the negative impacts that a cap on overall federal spending would have on programs that support low-income individuals and families. It provides several examples of key programs that would face major cuts, reducing or eliminating benefits for millions of people, including nutrition assistance, Medicaid, housing assistance, and social security. The document emphasizes that such cuts would disproportionately impact women, children, older adults, people of color, and the unemployed. It provides suggestions for actions people can take to oppose arbitrary spending caps and convey these concerns to their elected representatives.

A PROGRESS REPORT

January 2014

Executive Summary
“Unfortunately, many Americans live on the outskirts of hope—some because of their poverty,
and some because of their color, and all too many because of both. Our task is to help replace
their despair with opportunity. This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional
war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort.”
- President Lyndon B. Johnson, January 8, 1964
Fifty years ago, in January of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a “War on Poverty”
and introduced initiatives designed to improve the education, health, skills, jobs, and access to
economic resources of those struggling to make ends meet. While there is more work to do, in
the ensuing decades we have strengthened and reformed many of these programs and had
significant success in reducing poverty. In this report, the Council of Economic Advisers presents
evidence of the progress made possible by decades of bipartisan efforts to fight poverty by
expanding economic opportunity and rewarding hard work. We also document some of the
key steps the Obama Administration has taken to further increase opportunity and economic
security by improving key programs while ensuring greater efficiency and integrity. These steps
prevented millions of hardworking Americans from slipping into poverty during the worst
economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Poverty has declined by more than one-third since 1967.
The percent of the population in poverty when measured to include tax credits and
other benefits has declined from 25.8 percent in 1967 to 16.0 percent in 2012.
These figures use new historical estimates of the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty
Measure (SPM) anchored to today’s poverty thresholds. The SPM is widely
acknowledged to measure poverty more accurately than the official poverty measure,
which excludes the value of refundable tax credits and benefits like nutrition assistance
and has other limitations.
By anchoring the measure to today’s poverty standards we are able to ask how many
people in each year since 1967 would have had inflation-adjusted family resources
below the 2012 SPM poverty thresholds.
Despite real progress in the War on Poverty, there is more work to do.
In 2012, there were 49.7 million Americans grappling with the economic and social
hardships of living below the poverty line, including 13.4 million children.
While the United States is often seen as the land of economic opportunity, only about
half of low-income Americans make it out of the lowest income distribution quintile
over a 20-year period. About 40 percent of the differences in parents’ income are

reflected in children’s income as they become adults, pointing to strong lingerin.
Literature Review: Nutrition Education, Promotoras, & the Latino/a Population
The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the research exploring the utilization of culturally sensitive nutrition education, specifically studies incorporating promotoras (community health workers) among Latino populations in the U.S. Due to the high prevalence of obesity and its associated diseases among Latinos, there is an urgency to identify interventions that successfully incorporate culturally sensitive interventions in order to better communicate with these individuals.
BPHC Consultant Report
The Boston Public Health Commission aims to help residents meet basic needs like nutritious food. However, federal programs like SNAP have strict income limits that exclude the "threshold population" - those who earn too much to qualify but still struggle with food insecurity due to high living costs. This report develops a Composite Index using multiple food insecurity databases to identify and track the threshold population in Boston. Stakeholder interviews found root causes include housing costs and a need for targeted solutions. The index criteria could help the Commission direct resources to this vulnerable group.

PPT PRESENTATION The federal role in fighting poverty (housing.pptx
- 1. The Federal Role in Fighting Poverty (Housing and SNAP Benefits) GROUP 3 [Student’s Name] [Institution] [Course] [Date]
- 2. 1.1 Overview of The Issue The federal government of the United States has established several programs for fighting poverty in the United States. One such program is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP., formerly called the Food Stamp Program). The program aims at lifting adults, children, and families out of poverty. It is the most extensive anti-hunger program in the United States., providing more than 44.7milion individuals of all races with an average monthly benefit of above $134 in 2018 (Fox et al., 2018). To be eligible for SNAP benefits, households must meet the gross income, net income and asset tests. The SNAP benefits are via an electronic transfer debit card (EBT), administered through contract agreements between the banks and the United States government. The program's beneficiaries use the EBT cards to buy any food or beverage but cannot use them to buy alcoholic beverages. I personally think this is a tremendous initiative the united states federal government has adopted and its contribution in poverty reduction is substantial.
- 3. 1.2 Populations Impacted Both Negatively and Positively Poor people of all races and ethnic groups in the United States are impacted positively by the program. However, the whites are highly positively impacted by the program, with the races like blacks, Latino and Asian benefiting narrowly. For example, SNAP lifted 23 million white, 6 million Black, 7 million Latino, and 1 million Asian people above the poverty line (Gibson et al.,2022). The rich, however, are impacted negatively as some of the funds they contribute as taxes to help develop social amenities such as roads, hospitals and schools are diverted and used in the SNAP program by the federal government to help just a few. (The poor).
- 4. Illustration : Number of People SNAP Lifted Above Poverty Line in 2017, by Age, Race, and Ethnicity White Black Latino Asian All races and ethnicities Children under 18 2,745,000 2,067,000 3,037,000 236,000 8,730,000 Ages 18-64 6,508,000 2,718,000 2,712,000 343,000 12,739,000 65 years and older 13,950,000 1,701,000 1,290,000 517,000 17,720,000 All ages 23,204,000 6,486,000 7,039,000 1,096,000 39,189,000 March 2018
- 5. 1.3 Analysis of the Economic Dimensions of a U.S. Federal public Policy for Strengths and Weaknesses. Economically the SNAP program showed some strengths. For example, in 2017, SNAP is said to have lifted 3.4 million people out of poverty, nearly half of them children (Fox et al.,2018). It also benefits the economy with a multiplier effect that makes every $1 billion in SNAP benefits worth $1.5 billion in the gross domestic product (Canning et al.,2019). However, it has been criticized by anti-hunger and public health supporters for its weakness of the limited enrollments and limited benefits as it limits the number of food items one can buy with the electronic transfer debit card (SNAP to health,2012).
- 6. 1.4 Conclusion SNAP is an excellent united states government initiative whose benefits cannot be underestimated Recommendations to improve the policy; The program is to be stretched to cover a larger population of low household income earners, especially those significantly impacted by the adverse effects of COVID-19. The movement ensures a more equitable distribution among the people of different races, as experienced in the current distribution where the whites get a larger share in terms of the beneficiaries.
