Maxwell Frost Urges State to Provide Stopgap SNAP Funding
Democratic U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost is calling on the state of Florida to provide temporary funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a federal shutdown threatens to withhold funding for 3 million Floridians relying on the program.
A potential government shutdown in November could halt funding for SNAP, prompting Frost to send a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis and Senate President Ben Albritton, urging them to intervene.
“Floridians are already dealing with worsening unemployment and soaring grocery prices. Food banks in Central Florida have already been reporting a record number of neighbors in need and strained resources,”
Frost wrote, highlighting the need for immediate action to address the issue.
