Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits are at risk of not being paid out starting November 1st, unless a funding agreement is reached.
More than 3.5 million Texans rely on SNAP — including 1.7 million children and 700,000 seniors. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission warns that if the shutdown isn’t resolved soon, November payments will NOT go out.
In August, over $614 million in food assistance went out statewide — about $379 per family. Without it, many families may struggle to afford groceries.
If you or someone you know relies on SNAP, check the link below for local food pantries and resources. Please share this post to help spread the word!

HUD is expected to cut funding for homeless assistance programs that provide permanent housing.
If these cuts go through, our community could lose nearly half of its local permanent housing funds—putting about 50 households, including survivors of domestic violence, children, and youth, at risk of returning to homelessness.
These cuts would also strain hospitals, shelters, and jails, while hurting landlords, program staff, and local partnerships.
Congress authorized HUD to renew existing programs through FY2025, yet HUD appears to be moving forward with a funding competition instead.
We’re asking our elected officials to act now to protect these vital funds and ensure HUD follows Congressional direction.
Need advocacy resources: contact the Heart of Texas Homeless Coalition at heartoftexashomelesscoalition@gmail.com.
Together, our voices can make a difference. Let’s stand united to protect the housing programs that keep our neighbors safe and housed.
Thank you for being part of the solution.
