布洛克大学的政策简报显示,尼亚加拉的粮食无保障情况日益严重,2024年19个机构共提供358 000多份集体膳食,其中包括学生176 697份,向老年人和不能做饭的其他人提供近178 200份。 A Brock University policy brief reveals rising food insecurity in Niagara, with over 358,000 congregate meals served in 2024 by 19 agencies, including 176,697 for students and nearly 178,200 delivered to seniors and others unable to cook. 由于工资停滞、住房成本上涨和人口老化,许多居民无法获得烹饪服务,不需要收入证明的低障碍服务至关重要。 Low-barrier services requiring no income proof are critical due to stagnant wages, rising housing costs, and an aging population, with many residents lacking cooking access. 研究者认为此类案例很少。 Despite concerns about "meal-hopping," researchers say such cases are rare. 各机构在运作时没有协调的数据共享,限制了对需要的了解,促使人们呼吁进一步研究,以改进支助。 Agencies operate without coordinated data sharing, limiting understanding of needs, prompting calls for further research to improve support.
