The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has been awarded a nationally competitive grant of nearly $900,000 to improve the processing time of CalFresh applications through increased use of technology. The grant is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s effort to support programs like CalFresh (formerly known as food stamps.)

The local public health department in the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency is closely following the unfolding outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to the voluntary recall of whole cantaloupes from Jensen Farm, Colorado (see FDA information).
