In many states, people with drug-related felony convictions are banned from SNAP and TANF. This impedes successful reentry.

CLASP wrote comments on HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing proposed rule.

With unmet financial need increasing, SNAP is critical to address student hunger at colleges. Food insecurity is a threat to health, wellbeing, and success.

CLASP comments opposing the proposed rule to eliminate broad-based categorical eligibility for SNAP.

Thirteen states have adopted policies making drug testing an eligibility condition for TANF. These policies waste money, with operating costs far exceeding money saved from denying benefits, as well as harm families.
