BY REPRESENTATIVE FREIBERG
A RESOLUTION
To urge and request the legislative auditor to conduct an appropriate audit or evaluation of

each program and identify areas for improved coordination, including the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Employment and Training initiative (SNAP E&T), Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
program (TANF), Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), unemployment insurance
program, and any other block grant and assistance programs the legislative auditor
deems necessary to include.
WHEREAS, there are several programs administered by state agencies to provide
assistance to needy families; to reduce homelessness, unemployment, and hunger; to
promote affordable housing; and to promote educational opportunities, job preparation, and
employment; and
WHEREAS, recent audits of TANF and SNAP programs have indicated that there
is a lack of coordination among, knowledge of, and information regarding outcomes for
these programs; and
WHEREAS, improved collaboration and coordination among all of the programs will
greatly increase the state's ability to impact intergenerational poverty, improve educational
and employment opportunities; and reduce hunger; all to improve the economic and physical
well-being of the citizens of Louisiana.
