What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced an expansion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in New York City. The program will allow SNAP recipients to earn 40% more in Health Bucks, which matches spending at qualifying farmers markets and farm stands. Beginning in January 2027, the daily cap for these coupons will increase from $10 to $14, with the program currently matching every $2 spent on fresh produce.

The expansion is expected to distribute nearly $2.3 million to SNAP recipients in 2027 alone. This increase in subsidized spending is designed to make fresh produce more affordable for families on SNAP and benefit dozens of local vendors and farm stands in the city.
