SNAP E&T: Navigating Complex State Systems

The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) is dedicated to ensuring private capital is fairly and equitably invested in underserved areas across the country. Our vision of a just economy requires that everyone has the support, resources, and opportunities necessary to find well-paid careers they are passionate about and allow them to thrive.

One federal program that seeks to assist individuals with obtaining employment is the SNAP Employment and Training program (SNAP E&T), which provides states and third-party organizations with funding for the administration and delivery of programs that assist individuals participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) with services that help them to advance in their careers.

While administered through the federal government, every state decides what their SNAP E&T program will look like. The rules, structure, and services offered between states vary significantly. In this session, participants will learn about these different state approaches to third-party partnership, where to find out more about their state’s model and current priorities, and how to assess alignment with the state’s plan.
