SNAP Eligibility | Food and Nutrition Service
Most state agencies have adopted broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE), which allows state agencies to align income and resource limits with their TANF-funded programs. Under BBCE, households are categorically eligible for SNAP if they are eligible to receive a TANF or maintenance of effort (MOE) state-funded non-cash benefit. Even if you meet the BBCE income and resource limit in your state, you will still need to meet non-financial eligibility rules and have an income low enough to receive SNAP benefits.Do vehicles count as resources?Vehicles count as a resource for SNAP purposes. States determine how vehicles may count toward household resources.Licensed vehicles are NOT counted if they are:Used for income-producing purposes (e.g., taxi, truck or delivery vehicle);Annually producing income consistent with their fair market value;Needed for long distance travel for work (other than daily commute);Used as the home;Needed to transport a physically disabled household member;Needed to carry most of the household's fuel or water; orIf the sale of the vehicle would result in less than $1,500.For non-excluded licensed vehicles, the fair market value over $4,650 counts as a resource.Licensed vehicles are also subject to an equity test, which is the fair market value less any amount owed on the vehicle.

Evaluation of Shriver Program Showed it Produced Notable
Benefits Over Self Representation. A June 2020 statutorily
required evaluation of the Shriver Program found that legal
representation generated different benefits than self-help centers. For
example, in comparing eviction cases in which low-income tenants were
represented through Shriver projects with those who were
self-represented, the evaluation found notable additional benefits for
tenants represented by Shriver project attorneys. The evaluation found
that tenants served by the Shriver projects were more likely to
participate in their case, more likely to have their case resolved by
settlement rather than trial, and reduced the level of court
involvement. While most tenants still ultimately moved, few tenants
served by the Shriver projects were ultimately formally evicted—which
would have impacted their ability to seek replacement housing.
Additionally, in comparison to self-represented tenants, Shriver project
attorneys were able to help reduce the amount of money their tenant
clients ultimately had to pay to resolve their cases and to obtain terms
to benefit their clients’ credit (such as not reporting the case to
credit agencies). This made it more likely that Shriver clients found
replacement housing within a year.
Evaluations Show That Different Benefits Achievable Based
on What Legal Resources Are Funded. Both evaluations
demonstrated that self-help centers and the Shriver Program generated
benefits, and thus could merit funding consideration. However, the
different benefits generated raises policy considerations for the
Legislature regarding where funding should be invested to generate
legislatively desired results. For example, the Shriver Program
evaluation demonstrates that legal representation for low-income tenants
can have a meaningful impact on their ability to obtain replacement
housing relatively quickly—which could reduce the chance they become
homeless. If the Legislature determined the benefits of the Shriver
Programs were policy priorities, it could provide funding to prioritize
expanding legal representation to tenants to the 47 courts that
currently lack the Shriver Program or expanding the number of people who
would be eligible for services.
The 2023-24 California Spending Plan: Housing and Homelessness
The budget reverts $17.5 million of unexpended funds originally appropriated for the Downtown Rebound Program in the 2000-01 budget package. The funds were originally provided for adaptive reuse of commercial and industrial structures.

$600 Million in New Discretionary Spending and Tax Credits. The 2023-24 budget also includes new discretionary commitments related to housing and homelessness.

$500 Million One-Time Expansion of State Low Income Housing Tax Credits. In addition to the approximately $100 million annually that the state makes available for housing tax credits, the budget continues the recent practice of providing an additional discretionary $500 million in 2023-24 for tax credits to builders of rental housing affordable to low-income households. (Because these credits would not be claimed until the housing units are complete, the General Fund impact of this expansion would be observed in a few years.) This would be the fifth consecutive year in which the budget has proposed a one-time expansion of the state’s housing tax credit, for a total of $2.5 billion in tax credits.
$100 Million One-Time Augmentation for Multifamily Housing Program (MHP). The 2023-24 budget authorizes an increase of $100 million in one-time General Fund spending for MHP administered by HCD. The budget action augments previously authorized discretionary funding for the program for a total of $325 million in 2023-24.

Discretionary Spending on Housing and Homelessness Will Soon Be Exhausted. There is limited discretionary spending authorized beyond 2023-24 for housing and homelessness programs. That said, some sources of discretionary funding have multiyear expenditure authority, which spreads out the impact of current funds. In particular, HHAPP allows local jurisdictions five years to expend program funds, meaning the $1 billion in 2023-24 can be used through 2027-28. Moreover, over the next few years, a larger share of the units supported by the recent augmentations are expected to become available. This will give the Legislature a better understanding of the impact of recent budget actions.

Guidelines & Regulations
The 2022-23 Budget: The Governor’s Homelessness Plan
CoCs = Continuums of Care and Cal ICH = California Interagency Council on Homelessness.

Initial Findings From 2020 Annual Progress Report: HHAPP Round 1. The 2020 annual progress report for HHAPP Round 1 was published by HCFC in February 2021. 

Actual Awards. Eligible local entities had the option to apply jointly and redirect their HHAPP allocation to another eligible entity in their region. In total, $618 million was allocated to 102 local entities—14 large cities, 49 counties, and 39 CoCs. The remaining $32 million supports program administration and a technical assistance program to support grantees. Of the $618 million, cities received $271 million, counties received $179 million, and CoCs received $168 million.
Obligated and Expended Funds. As of the February 2021 report, HHAPP grantees obligated 54 percent ($334 million) of awarded funds and expended 10 percent ($61 million) of their funding. Of the funds that have already been obligated, the funding mostly was dedicated towards implementing new navigation centers, emergency shelters, and permanent housing. Of the funds that have already been expended, the funding has mostly been directed towards providing new navigation centers with wraparound services and emergency shelters.
Service Delivery. From spring 2020, when funds were disbursed, through September 2020, HHAPP funds served approximately 4,600 people—64 percent by CoCs, 17 percent by counties, and 19 percent by cities. Additionally, 41 percent of people served were chronically homeless. Services provided could range from offering information to a person experiencing homelessness to transitioning a person into permanent housing. 
Initial Outcomes. The main outcome in the report is related to the destination of people after they exited HHAPP‑funded projects. There were 2,000 recorded exits from HHAPP‑funded projects. Exits to unsheltered homelessness accounted for 26 percent (530 people) of all exits types reported. Exits to permanent housing destinations accounted for 22 percent (457 people) of all exits. People also exited to temporary living situations (18 percent, or 375 people).
