Colorado Residents Face Food Insecurity Amid SNAP Suspension
Colorado residents, including single mom Jasmine Kendall, are struggling to make ends meet as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) looms. Kendall, a registered behavioral therapist, has $86 left in her bank account and is at risk of losing her subsidized housing.
Her life feels like a cruel word problem she’s struggling to solve — and the math is not in her favor.
State and local leaders, as well as food bank operators, are working to meet the overwhelming demand for food assistance. However, food banks "just don’t have enough" to support those in need.
- Kendall's car gas tank is empty
- Her refrigerator and freezer are empty
- She works 8 a.m. as a registered behavioral therapist
- Her job pays $21 an hour
- Housing assistance covers a portion of her $3,000 monthly rent
