Show Notes
Starting April 1st, tens of thousands of humanitarian immigrants in California lose CalFresh food benefits due to President Trumps 2025 H.R.1 spending bill. This affects groups like refugees, asylees, parolees, and survivors of trafficking or abuse, as well as many lawfully present immigrants who were previously eligible. The full impact will be felt over the next year, with about 72,000 people affected statewide, including over 5,000 in Alameda County. Advocates worry this will abandon those fleeing violence and persecution, and piles on top of other recent restrictions. However, options remain, such as the California Food Assistance Program, WIC, and food banks. Groups are pushing to expand state aid, and affected individuals can seek guidance from their county office or Nourish California.
