Krista Shalda, a single mother residing in North Carolina, is experiencing significant challenges due to recent changes in Medicaid eligibility. The HOP program, designed to provide support for individuals with complex medical needs, has resulted in a reduction in the amount of food and housing assistance available to Shalda and her two children. The program’s funding has been diminished, forcing Shalda to rely on supplemental resources and explore alternative food options. The situation highlights the potential impact of these cuts on vulnerable populations and their ability to maintain basic needs.
