Housing subsidies mean better-fed children

Today's HAC News has the usual useful potpourri of appropriations updates etc.

And then there's an eyebrow-raiser. It's word of an interesting report by the C-SNAP pediatric and public health network. Unfortunately the full report costs money to read, but the press release and abstract say C-SNAP has evidence for one of these things poverty advocates often wish they could prove: that small children in low-income families receiving housing subsidies are less likely to suffer from undernutrition than in low-income families with no such subsidies.

In other words, cutting housing subsidies makes children measurably hungrier.
