Abstract

En 2001, environ 56 000 adultes étaient considérés en situation d’insécurité alimentaire dans le Comté de Sacramento. Malgré les six programmes d’aide alimentaire administrés par le gouvernement américain, le nombre de personnes ayant recours à des structures d’aide alimentaire d’urgence n’a cessé de croître durant les 20 dernières années. Notre étude a pour objectif de connaître les personnes ayant recours à l’aide alimentaire d’urgence et d’évaluer l’utilisation des programmes gouvernementaux au sein du Comté. Pour cela, 338 personnes ont été interrogées dans les structures d’aide alimentaire d’urgence et des entretiens ont été effectués avec les responsables de chaque programme gouvernemental. Notre étude montre que les programmes gouvernementaux sont sousutilisés principalement du fait du manque d’information auprès des personnes éligibles et de barrières telles que la difficulté d’accéder aux centres, les problèmes de langue pour de nombreux immigrés ou des lourdeurs administratives.
