Food4All is making headlines. The California Legislature and Governor Newsom announced an agreement on the 2022-2023 state budget on June 26 which includes funding to remove exclusions to food assistance for Californians 55 and older, regardless of immigration status. With this historic investment, California will be the first state in the nation to provide food assistance benefits to older undocumented adults. We will continue to urge Governor Newsom to expand CFAP nutrition benefits to immigrants of all ages, regardless of immigration status in the next state budgets. No exceptions! No exclusions!
