CalFresh Healthy Living Program 

The CalFresh Healthy Living Program (CFHLP) is a county funded nutrition program with funding from the United States Department of Agriculture's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - USDA SNAP. This program targets older adults, aged 60 and above, who receive services from or reside at income-qualified sites in LA County, as determined by the County of LA Aging & Disabilities Department. CFHLP provides participants with valuable nutrition education and healthy living information designed to increase their knowledge and abilities, help postpone or prevent nutrition-related chronic diseases and to enhance their physical, social and mental well-being. The CFHLP includes direct education, indirect education and Policy, system and Environment (PSE) projects. 

What is direct education? 

Direct education is delivered either in person or via a virtual platform. It features evidence-based programming through a series of one-hour classes held once a week for four weeks. Two of the four classes include a food demonstration. 

What is In-Person Indirect Education 

In-person indirect education, also known as Wiser Dining, consists of 20-minute demonstrations typically conducted over one or two weeks. These sessions address the specific needs of site participants, determined through communication with participants and site managers. Topics may include reducing sodium intake, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, and budget-friendly eating. Participants also receive monthly nutrition education newsletters. 

What is policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) Projects?

Through interactions during direct and indirect education sessions and engagement with Congregate Meal Site and ENP Agency staff, the needs of the community and participants are assessed. This process generates ideas for Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) projects aimed at reducing barriers to healthy eating and physical activity. An action plan is drafted based on these ideas and submitted to the County of LA Aging & Disabilities Department for approval before implementation. PSE activities may include community gardening, Farmers Market tours, collaboration with the Department of Social Services for CalFresh outreach, and partnerships with local organizations managing Farmers Markets.
