Delivering for Rural Seniors Act of 2024
S 4488, the Delivering for Rural Seniors Act of 2024, creates a pilot program to expand home delivery of food packages under the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) for low-income seniors in rural areas. It authorizes $10 million annually (2025-2027) for competitive grants to state agencies, which must distribute funds to local organizations to cover home delivery costs like transportation, staffing, and outreach. The bill specifically requires states to prioritize projects serving rural seniors and mandates annual reports tracking deliveries, costs, and effectiveness. This directly affects rural seniors enrolled in CSFP who face transportation barriers to accessing food assistance.
