About the Program
Emergency allotments increased CalFresh benefits during the pandemic, although the lowest-income households did not see an initial boost. PPIC researcher Tess Thorman will present findings on how this pandemic aid affected household resources, work decisions, and participant retention and will offer recommendations towards developing a CalFresh response for the next economic downturn—as well as improving the program in the near term.
This research and event are supported with funding from the PPIC Corporate Circle and the PPIC Donor Circle.
