<b>Subject:</b> Food insecurity at WA colleges<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just wanted to send along a report you might find interesting. The Young Invincibles just put out a
<a href="http://younginvincibles.org/reports-briefs/rethinking-snap-benefits-college-students-food-insecurity/">
<span style="color:#0563C1">great analysis</span></a><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>this week (linked and attached) on food insecurity that estimates of how many students in higher education could potentially benefit from greater food assistance at the state and federal levels.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They estimate that up to <b><u>79% of Washington State students who qualify for SNAP are missing out on a combined $75 million in support each year</u></b>. This translates to about 50,000 otherwise-eligible students statewide missing out
on SNAP annually in WA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to data, the report includes some federal, state, and institutional recommendations. They have a section going into their methodology in greater detail. I have also sent this to Linnea Todd with the Washington Financial Aid
Association to share with their Executive Council. However as I understand it in many cases the role of connecting students with benefits is not exclusively in the financial aid office—but may be a mix of registrars, WorkSource, advising offices, student affairs,
and others.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you think this is something your contacts or member institutions would be interested in seeing? We certainly hope so!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
