## Summary

**Home-delivery pilot for CSFP to serve low-income elderly participants.** It funds competitive grants to state agencies to deliver Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) commodities to seniors at home and evaluates project effectiveness and costs. - Seniors: Low-income elderly CSFP participants can receive program food delivered to their homes, reducing barriers to access. - State agencies: States may apply for competitive grants. Each state's grant is limited to the lesser of its CSFP caseload at application multiplied by 60 or $4.0 million. - Operations and reporting: Grant funds may cover transportation, distribution (including third-party services), delivery staff, and outreach. Priority goes to projects serving rural participants and states must report yearly on commodities delivered, participants served, total deliveries, average cost per delivery, and best practices. *Authorizes $10.0 million to be appropriated for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2028 to carry out the pilot.*
