Sec. 272.9  Approval of homeless meal providers.



    The State food stamp agency, or another appropriate State or local 

governmental agency identified by the State food stamp agency, shall 

approve establishments serving the homeless upon sufficient evidence, as 

determined by the agency, that the establishment does in fact serve 

meals to homeless persons. Where the State food stamp agency identifies 

another appropriate State or local agency for the purpose of approving 

establishments serving the homeless, the State food stamp agency will 

remain responsible for insuring that the provisions of the preceding 

sentence are effectively carried out. The State food stamp agency, or 

another appropriate State or local governmental agency identified by the 

State food stamp agency or private nonprofit organization under contract 

with the State food stamp agency shall execute contracts with 

restaurants wishing to sell meals in exchange for food stamp benefits to 

homeless food stamp households. Such contracts shall specify that such 

meals are to be sold at ``concessional'' (low or reduced) prices and 

shall also specify the approximate prices which will be charged, or the 

amount and type of price reduction.
