About this measure

This measure provides current enrollment data for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Data for Cuyahoga County are reported by the Cuyahoga County Division of Job and Family Services with comparative data provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Why is this important?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program helps low-income individuals purchase food, serving as a safety net for children, families, adults, and older persons.
How are we making an impact?

The Division of Job and Family Services is currently researching the County’s density rate to determine areas where individuals may suffer from food insecurity but are not seeking assistance. While researching the density rates, the agency has made internal adjustments, which has improved the number of cases with timely approval by approximately 10% since January 2018.
