This afternoon, I appeared on KPBS’ Midday Edition to discuss how long hold times on San Diego County’s food-stamps help line are making it hard for low-income residents to apply.
Here’s the audio from today’s show.
County officials said they weren’t available to join us for the conversation, but Supervisor Greg Cox did send over a statement. And he dropped a bit of news.
He said the county’s Health and Human Services Agency was hiring 65 new eligibility workers to process food stamp applications.
