Drawing on responses from a non-random statewide parent sample in the 2022 Preschool Development Grant Family Needs Assessment Survey, the brief analyzes participation and familiarity with programs supporting learning, development, and food access. Results show broad reach of food assistance such as SNAP and school meals, while child care scholarships, summer meals, and home visiting show lower or uneven awareness, shaped by factors like household structure, age of children, and income.","University of New Hampshire  \nCarsey School of Public Policy  \nCARSEY RESEARCH  \nNational Issue Brief \\#170 Winter 2023  \nSupportive Program Strengthsand Gaps for New Hampshire Families  \n“Just enough money to barely pay for most things”  \nS ar ah Boe ge and Jess C arson  \new Hampshire families have not been exempted  \nNfrom thated witehdaisnruptioendunrisnagnpdacnhdaellenmic,gesincassoludicnig  \ndisruptions to their children’s care and education arrangements, pressure on household budgets due to rising inflation, and new challenges of meeting children’s social, emotional, and physical needs amid persistent stressors and healthcare workforce shortages. The 2022 Preschool Development Grant’s (PDG) New Hampshire Family Needs Assessment Survey explored how New Hampshire families with children under age nine fare in accessing early childhood care and education, measured their knowledge and use of supportive programs, and identified new and enduring needs. Using survey responses from a non-random sample of parents statewide, this brief focuses on the use of programs to support families in caring for and educating their children.  \nNational School Lunch Program Had Widest Reach Among Respondents  \nSurvey participants were asked about their level of familiarity with two sets of programs: one set to support their child’s learning and development and the second to help families get food. Nearly half (312 of 656) of respondents were using at least one of the programs under consideration, with the greatest program participation (125 respondents) in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program (“hot lunch”), followed by WIC (Women, Infants and Children’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program) and Special Education, each with 101 respondents currently participating. The least-often used programs among respondents were summer meals and family home visiting, with only about 40 respondents reporting using each.  \nNear Universal Familiarity with Food Stamps, While Half Never Heard of Child Care Scholarships  \nAlong with current program participation, respondents were also asked to indicate prior participation and familiarity with different programs. Respondents were almost universally familiar with the group of food assistance programs, with between 96 and 97 percent of respondents having heard of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or “food stamps”), WIC, food pantries, and school meals. Although findings are not directly comparable across sources, it is worth noting that these patterns of 90 to 100 percent familiarity with food assistance programs match findings from both the  \nNew England Center • 15 Strafford Avenue • Durham, NH 03824  \n(603) 862-2821 • [carsey.unh.edu](carsey.unh.edu)  \nTTY Users: dial 7-1-1 or 1-800-735-2964 (relaY N.

Importantly, however, the summer meals program was the only food program with which respondents were unevenly familiar: while more than 80 percent of respondents, in general, knew of summer meals, this dropped to only two-thirds among respondents in single adult households, who had often run out of food, or who had often worried about running out of food.  \nOn the child development and education side, respondents showed mixed familiarity with programs. More than half had never heard of child care scholarships, similar to the share who had never heard of home visiting. More than one-third had never heard of family-centered early supports and services (FCESS). Findings from the two prior PDG needs assessments are remarkably similar—although not directly comparable—each also finding that around 40 percent of respondents were familiar with home visiting, around 65 to 70 percent were familiar with FCESS, and between half and two-thirds were fami","cbCaieak7clsKe1A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieak7clsKe1A","pdf",1703882,"English","en",105,"# National Issue Brief Overview\n# Program Participation and Familiarity\n## Food Assistance Programs\n## Child Development and Education Programs\n# Factors Linked to Program Awareness","[{\"question\":\"Which supportive programs had the widest reach among respondents?\",\"answer\":\"SNAP (food stamps), WIC, food pantries, and school meals were known by nearly all respondents (about 96–97%).
