The Homeless Alliance will be reporting more on the passage of the Farm Bill by congress in the coming days as more news and analysis becomes available. For now, however, the passage of the Farm Bill as it is increases allocations for Food Stamps by $10.4 billion dollars, a much needed supplement for households that are struggling to meet their food needs on tight budgets.
The Farm Bill passed 318 to 106, meaning that there is a majority to override a veto by the Bush Administration.
