PKG on National Issue with a Local Angle: DC's Snap Benefits Saga Continues
For this project, I reported on changes in SNAP Benefits in DC in wake of Mayor Bowser's signing of the "Give SNAP a Raise Act".
DC SNAP-enrolled households will receive a boost in monthly SNAP benefits in February. It’s the result of a legally-charged saga between Mayor Bowser's administration, local community leaders, and residents.

As a NewsVision Reporter, I spoke with local anti-hunger organization leaders, legal representatives, and a former SNAP-recipient about the matter.
