A federal bill signed on July 4, 2025, ended funding for SNAP-Ed programs across the country. As a result,
CalFresh Healthy Living will end by June 30, 2026, and this web page is no longer being updated.
CalFresh Healthy Living thanks all our partners, participants, and community members for over 30 years of
successful programming. Resources and tools remain here for informational purposes.
California Family Health Study
The California Family Health Study was funded by SNAP-Ed. The Population Research Center (PRC) at Sacramento State University (CSUS) led the study. The California Department of Public Health and PRC partnered with CalFresh Healthy Living to do the survey. The Public Health Institute Center for Wellness and Nutrition also supported analysis for the study.
Over the last ten years, we interviewed more than 20,000 moms and female caregivers in California. These phone interviews taught us about how families eat, drink, and exercise. Speaking with these families helped us improve public health programs like CalFresh Healthy Living.
Thank you to all the families who participated in the study! And thank you to all the students, faculty, and staff at PRC and CSUS who helped collect this data. We hope our work will continue to inform California’s public health programs.
