The first workshop in the 2024 NAWRS virtual workshop series highlighted strategies state and local SNAP agencies and their partners are employing to improve access to nutrition assistance among college students, an increasingly recognized gap in basic needs support. The workshop featured a discussion of state-level policy at the Colorado Department of Human Services along with their research partner, RAND. It also featured a discussion of a successful SNAP outreach partnership between the Yolo County, California Health and Human Services Agency and UC Davis’s Aggie Compass Basic Needs Center.
