Food Insecurity in Colorado
Coloradans are facing a crisis as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) looms, leaving many without access to food. State and local leaders, as well as food bank operators, are scrambling to meet the overwhelming demand.
Jasmine Kendall, a 34-year-old single mom, is one of those affected. She has $86 left in her bank account and is at risk of losing her subsidized housing in Denver due to a lack of federal funding. Her car is out of gas, and her refrigerator and freezer are empty.
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, caring for kids with autism, and earns $21 an hour. However, her housing assistance, which typically covers a portion of her $3,000 monthly rent, may be at risk.
- SNAP suspension looms, threatening food access for many Coloradans
