The DuPage County Human Services Committee met to discuss an emerging food-insecurity crisis tied to potential SNAP benefit interruptions, hear routine consent and contract items, and receive updates on DuPage Care Center construction and HUD-funded affordable-housing projects. Committee members and county staff discussed short-term responses (food pantry referrals, 2-1-1 promotion, DSSA charitable fund, volunteer coordination) and whether to reallocate $2,100,000 from the small human services grants to a new county food line item; the committee registered a 5–1 consensus to pursue that transfer for formal budget action at a future meeting. The committee approved multiple routine grants, contracts and budget transfers and heard updates on housing projects delayed by a federal funding/process issue and on winter capacity planning for PADs interim housing.
