Council Letter to the Mayor to Fund SNAP Increases in FY 2024
I wrote a letter urging Mayor Bowser to reconsider the decision to disregard District law and deny District residents an increase to their SNAP benefits in 2024. The Mayor's decision not to spend over $39 million for its intended purpose means that more than 140,000 residents will not receive the expected increase in SNAP benefits due to begin in January 2024.
