HR1 Reduces SNAP, Strains Charity Food Supply
Changes from the 2025 HR1 law will reduce access to free food in the United States starting April and June 2026, officials say. April 1 immigration cuts and June 1 expanded SNAP work requirements could shrink enrollment—CBO projects a $187 billion spending reduction and roughly 4 million fewer clients over the next decade—while AI-driven waste reduction is shrinking donations, threatening charities including about 72,000 CalFresh recipients in California and roughly 2,000 in Orange County.
