New funding that aims to coordinate the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP<\/abbr>) with other programs in combating childhood hunger includes a grant for the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa\u2019s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources Children\u2019s Healthy Living Center of Excellence<\/a> (CHL<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

Share Our Strength\u2019s No Kid Hungry campaign<\/a>, with support from the American Public Human Services Association, will invest nearly $2 million with six SNAP<\/abbr> agencies, including Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. <\/p>\n

The initial goal is to track trends in co-enrollment, identify the characteristics of vulnerable populations that do not enroll in eligible programs, and guide future programs and policies. Ultimately the initiative hopes to streamline policy, programs and resources that impact children and families. <\/p>\n

“This grant helps us form an important collaboration for coordinating data systems on food, nutrition and health-related programs,” said Rachel Novotny<\/strong> of CHL<\/abbr> and the Department of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Sciences<\/a>. “This will enhance program efficiency and effectiveness for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s children and families.”<\/p>\n

During the 18-month project, CHL<\/abbr> will provide technical assistance in data integration and analytics. Following the grant period, CHL<\/abbr> will continue to help link data systems and evaluate existing nutrition programs. The project is rooted in the ʻOhana Nui framework, which seeks to end intergenerational poverty by addressing the needs of multigenerational households.<\/p>\n
