Colorado Residents Face Food Insecurity as SNAP Suspension Looms
State and local leaders in Colorado are working to address the growing demand for food assistance as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) approaches.
Jasmine Kendall, a 34-year-old single mom, is among those affected. With only $86 left in her bank account, she is struggling to make ends meet. Her subsidized housing in Denver is also at risk due to a lack of federal funding.
Her life feels like a cruel word problem she’s struggling to solve — and the math is not in her favor.
Kendall works as a registered behavioral therapist, earning $21 an hour, but her housing assistance is in jeopardy, leaving her to worry about how to feed her family.
- Her monthly rent is $3,000, which is partially covered by housing assistance.
- Her car's gas tank is empty, and her refrigerator and freezer are bare.
Food banks in the area are also feeling the strain, with operators stating that they "just don't have enough" to meet the demand.
