During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

    March 23, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives 317 Russell Senate Office Building 1236 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives 322 Hart Senate Office Building 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy and Leader Schumer: As Congress works on its next relief package, we are extremely concerned about the significant health risk the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak poses for people experiencing homelessness and on individuals teetering on the edge of homelessness. We strongly urge you to provide $105 billion to state and local entities to protect those who are unhoused and those on the brink from becoming homeless from COVID-19 through the Emergency Solutions Grant Program and rental assistance programs for low-income individuals and families. There are an estimated 568,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in America, according to the most recent Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress. This includes 171,670 people in families (including children), 35,038 unaccompanied homeless youth, and 96,141 chronically homeless individuals. We are very concerned because our neighbors experiencing homelessness reside in public spaces and congregate in shelters, where they may have higher exposure to the virus. Further, nationally, people experiencing homelessness have more limited access to the preventive measures recommended by the nation’s health authorities, including, social distancing, home isolation, handwashing, avoiding high-touch surfaces and rapid access to health care.
