Snap Reductions Put Bronx Families at Risk
Amid an ongoing hunger crisis, Bronx resident Anthony Powell faces difficulties in restoring his Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
"I just keep running around, everything is being done by these computers,"
Powell, 68, has been visiting his local SNAP center since losing his benefits in May, but has struggled with the online application process and was mistakenly classified as homeless.
- Nearly 125,000 households in New York's 15th congressional district received SNAP benefits in 2023.
- 43.5% of the district's total households rely on SNAP benefits.
Powell's situation may soon become more widespread for many in his neighborhood, putting them at risk.
