Summary

What do they do? Hunger Action Los Angeles provides nutrition incentives, food delivery, benefit access and anti-hunger organizing. Market Match helps eligible shoppers obtain produce, while other HALA services remain outside this quantified pathway. The conditional comparison now includes nutrition health and signed household food resources, actual travel costs and lost pay.

Why we’re interested in this organization:

  • Original returns distinguish redeemed incentives from shoppers’ existing CalFresh spending and disclose three years of whole-recipient expenses.

  • Restricted food can increase household consumption or free an existing food budget even when clinical health effects are small.

  • Randomized dietary evidence supports a plausible mechanism, while clinical null results and public funding alternatives temper the estimate.

Our main reservations:

  • Transactions and new customers do not identify current unique annual households or their residence.

  • Clinical utility, household incidence, restricted-food valuation, overlap and gift-sensitive redemption remain explicit judgments.

  • No current unfunded service tranche is verified, and delivery, policy and enrollment pathways remain unknown rather than zero.

What do you get for your dollar? $1.0M per DALY in Los Angeles. DALY is our one-year comparison unit. QALY-based health gains and income-welfare equivalents retain their original assumptions; they are not measured clinical DALYs. Conditional Market Match nutrition health and signed household resources at whole recipient support; other portfolio unknown, no verified marginal capacity..

Redeemed matching, otherwise-free and incremental transfer, disjoint substitution/diet amounts, assumed household-equivalent years, clinical health and signed consumption/cash/pay dollar and welfare ledgers.

1. What do they do?

HALA, EIN 20-5142259, combines direct service with education and organizing. Its current website includes Market Match, food delivery, CalFresh support and advocacy. The recipient scope includes all of these activities. The model prices the selected Market Match nutrition-health and signed household-resource pathways against the entire recipient expense; other pathways are unknown rather than worthless.

The original return identifies LA-area markets and county support. A 98% LA/Orange benefit share allows for shoppers living outside the boundary; it is not an address-based measurement. Benefits to farmers elsewhere in California are not added as local health gains.

2. Monitoring and information sharing

Current measurement boundary: the October 2 review freshly checked three original returns, 2024 Schedules M/L, 2022 Schedule D and current CDFA CNIP passages. Redeemed matching is an observed physical scale anchor; recipient-equivalent years are an assumed incidence normalization, not unique households or transactions. No 2025–26 HALA redemption/residence series or gift-sized expansion capacity was identified. The current cost section and calibrated parameters govern the comparison. The following earlier monitoring analysis is preserved as historical context.

The 2024 original return reports $1,224,579 redeemed Market Match incentives at 39 markets across 67,183 transactions, or $18.23 per transaction. The 2,978 new customers are not all unique annual households, and customer CalFresh spending of $1,631,637 is not new benefit created by HALA. WIC/Senior coupons and delivery are separate unpriced pathways with unresolved overlap.

Dividing redemptions by a hypothetical $240 annual dose yields 5,102.4 standardized incentive-equivalent years, not people observed receiving a year of treatment. The model really depends on q/u, the assumed health yield per incremental incentive dollar. Doubling both u and q leaves results unchanged. Holding q fixed while changing u is a substantive dose-response assumption, not a harmless change of units. Current HALA market instructions conflict between $20 and $15 caps, and no 2025–26 HALA redemption/unique-client series was located.

The live delivery page says 120 households but has undated COVID-era prose; the 2024 return says roughly 200 regularly. Neither establishes current 2026 throughput. Recent volunteer activity does not date the service count, so no contraction or growth is inferred.

3. Qualitative assessment

Current evidence boundary: HIP, CNIP and the produce-prescription clinical trial were read as indexed original abstracts, not full papers or freshly read audit opinions. The current healthPerUnit=.001 prior is independently judged; the historical q=.005 and alpha-comparable discussion below are not current assumptions. Signed restricted-consumption resources and actual costs are separate from clinical utility and from any farmer/program revenue. Earlier source discussion follows as historical context.

The HIP randomized evaluation supports an increase of about 0.24 cups of targeted produce daily, not a measured QALY effect. Its original final report reports average incentives of $3.65 per household-month during steady operation; that does not validate HALA's $240 exposure assumption or dollars-to-health linearity. Different subsidy ratios, household composition, access and repeat uptake limit transfer.

The 2026 Drake trial randomized 2,155 adults with diabetes and food-insecurity risk to $80 monthly produce support for a year or usual care. It found no clinical advantage; the HbA1c difference favored usual care. This is not proof of HALA harm, but directly cautions against equating food subsidies with clinical improvement. The 2026 Kane dose trial supports dose sensitivity for some diet/food-security outcomes but has no untreated arm or QALY endpoint. California CNIP cross-sectional evidence found no quantitatively measured consumption association and cannot isolate causal effects.

The central q=0.005 is retained solely as an alpha-comparable judgment, not an empirically calibrated expected value. It is finite net first-year health area, including competing mortality, burdens and within-year fade. A lower q=0.001 case is judgment sensitivity, not a numerical inference from the trial. Zero remains plausible. Long-horizon national microsimulations are not imported: their sustained program exposure, disease-risk equations, cost offsets and population differ from a marginal HALA gift. Policy, enrollment and food delivery may matter but remain unpriced, not worthless.

4. What do you get for your dollar?

GiveBetter estimates about $1.0M per DALY for a conditional Market Match pathway including nutrition health and signed household-resource effects. This is a ten-healthy-year-equivalent welfare comparison, not measured clinical QALYs alone, a whole-portfolio return or a verified donor offer. Food benefits can improve restricted consumption or free an existing food budget; the model counts that resource value once and never treats it as both food and the same cash.

A hypothetical $10,000 gift supports $1,032.46 of redeemed matching under a proportional annual-support assumption. Of this, $309.74 is assumed to replace equivalent incentives available anyway, leaving $722.72 of incremental matching: $289.09 in a substitution cohort and $433.63 in a diet-expansion cohort. These are fractional modeled expectations, not observed current extra recipients. Dividing by an assumed $240 annual household dose gives 4.302 recipient-equivalent years; 67,183 transactions and 2,978 new customers are not annual unique households.

The underlying anchors are $1,224,579 of 2024 redeemed matching and $2,965,205 of whole-recipient accrual expense. Both remain fixed independently of accounting adjustments. The 25% funding response is a judgment: public reimbursement, other donors and alternative incentives continue without an ordinary gift. Public Ecology Center and county ARPA funding already account for $805,512 and $419,067 of that historical redemption; these are not a new private-donation multiplier. Other current awards and statewide solicitations do not identify HALA’s unrestricted marginal capacity.

Household counterfactuals are disjoint. Thirty percent would receive equivalent free incentives anyway and obtain no incremental transfer or diet credit. Among the remaining 70%, 40% substitute matching produce for purchases they would otherwise make, freeing their existing food budget once but receiving no extra diet-quality health credit. The other 60% obtain incremental restricted food consumption, valued at 80% of matching face value as a planning judgment. No donated delivery stock, farmer revenue, government payment or charity payroll is stacked as household cash income.

Qualifying CalFresh or own-food purchases are assumed to occur anyway centrally. The model does not silently charge a new copay, nor credit existing CalFresh spending as a new HALA benefit. A separate qualifying-cost stress debits net additional restriction, price premium or budget cost after accounting for the ordinary food acquired; it does not subtract all EBT spending while discarding the food bought with it. These counterfactual shares and valuations are unmeasured judgments.

Nutrition health is credited only to the diet-expansion cohort. The current prior is 0.001 finite first-year healthy years per $240 of diet-expansion matching, not the historical 0.005 prior. HIP’s randomized trial increased targeted produce intake by about 0.24 cups per day but measured no QALYs. The California CNIP cross-sectional study found no quantitatively measured consumption association. A fresh indexed abstract of the 2,155-person produce-prescription trial found no 12-month cardiometabolic or utilization improvement; its HbA1c difference favored usual care. These results motivate a small conditional prior and null/negative alternatives, not a measured HALA utility or a mechanically inferred harm coefficient. No lifetime disease microsimulation or household-member multiplier is imported.

HealthUnit is purely a normalization: doubling both healthUnit and healthPerUnit preserves health, resources and native incidence. HouseholdDose is different—it is the assumed actual dispersion of annual matching among household-equivalents and therefore changes the nonlinear household-resource calculation. Neither number is an observed unique annual exposure. Health lasts one year centrally, with year-end discounting and a small independent attempt burden of 0.00001 healthy years per recipient-equivalent. Longer clinical persistence does not repeat resource payments for free.

Twenty-five percent of gift-supported recipient-equivalents are assumed to incur $20 of additional actual travel expense and $10 of actual lost disposable pay. These costs can persist despite equivalent free care or no clinical response; waiting leisure is not converted to lost earnings. Central recovery pay is zero because the cited nutrition evidence supplies no measured wage effect. Positive and negative $100 work-response stresses among a judged 20% of diet-cohort workers are common-alive hypothetical effects, not baseline lifetime earnings from saved lives.

Free, substitution and diet cohorts are crossed with burden and worker states before logarithms. The signed resource bridge uses a $25,000 annual household baseline and half-year receipt timing. Actual cash losses are debited first, then the transfer; pay uses the cash-adjusted baseline, and lost pay is debited before any recovery pay. Negative effects remain fully counted. Positive diet-resource gains receive 50% retention for nutrition/financial-stress overlap; substitution gains receive full retention because they obtain no duplicate diet-health credit. Positive recovery pay receives 50% retention; negative pay is never attenuated. These are transparent overlap judgments, not identified utility weights.

Per $10,000, local clinical health is 0.00167693 healthy years. Consumption-and-cash resource welfare is +0.00847958 and actual-pay welfare −0.000206689, giving net resources +0.00827289 and combined +0.00994982 equivalent years. The resulting donor price is $1.0M per DALY; health alone is $59,632,681. Raw net consumption-equivalent resources plus actual cash costs are +$593.36—not cash handed to households. Actual cash outlay is separately −$20.77 and actual lost-pay present value −$10.39. Restricted food and freed food budget are counted once.

The donor-support boundary is full $2,965,205 recipient accrual expense, not cashflow or a verified marginal quote. Recognized donated delivery food of $226,550 is already included and is not added again or subtracted to manufacture physical productivity. A gross companion adds $56,400 from 2,256 reported volunteer hours at a judged $25/hour, yielding $3,021,605 annually and $1.0M per DALY. That opportunity-cost allowance is not actual lost volunteer wages or donor cash. The three-year expense mean remains $2,151,781; historical cost is not paired with larger current output to manufacture a cheaper ratio.

Both health and household-resource locality are independently 98% for the specified LA/Orange shopper pathway, not farmer locations or headquarters. The fixed $25,000 gift ceiling is a comparison domain, not verified delivery capacity. Forty unweighted cases test funding, health, restricted valuation, burdens, actual work, overlap, local shares, incidence, units, duration, cost and genuine unknowns. Whole-portfolio health and combined value remain unknown centrally.

Historical comparison and financial appendix. The prior clinical-only central was $977K per DALY, with C=2,965,205, R=1,224,579, u=240, q=0.005, a=0.5, b=0.25, g=0.98 and d=0.03. All thirteen historical cases remain frozen under historicalModel. Those u/q/a/b assumptions are historical, not the current model. The numerical proximity of the current combined price is not preserved health or an organizational trend: a lower independently reconsidered clinical prior and a new signed food-resource ledger generate it. The following financial analysis is historical; source financial facts remain useful.

Original whole-recipient expenses are 2022 $1,511,795, 2023 $1,978,343 and 2024 $2,965,205. The central cost numerator retains all programs, administration and fundraising. No separately netted activity cost was identified. The three-year mean is $2,151,781, but it is not paired with larger 2024 output to manufacture a cheaper ratio.

The 2022 return reports an audit and Schedule D reconciles the same expense; the signed opinion was not located. FY2023–24 report compilation/review, not independent audit. 2024 Schedule M confirms $226,550 donated food is already recognized. Do not add it again. The reported pounds times stated unit valuation differs by $95,998.10; retain filed expense pending ledger clarification, not an arbitrary correction. The Market Match grant subtotal exceeds separately stated incentive/coupon totals by $189,596; do not turn this into extra outcomes.

The 2,256 reported delivery volunteer hours valued at an assumed $25/hour raise an augmented recipient cost envelope to $3,021,605. This is a sensitivity, not full measured societal cost; shopper time and outside administration remain unmeasured. Central conditional health remains 3.0342 LA QALYs at $977K per DALY, or $996K with that volunteer allowance. The lower health prior gives $4.9M per DALY. These are assumption-driven component ratios, not measured marginal returns or confidence bounds.

Model, assumptions and sensitivity

Whole recipient accrual support proxy, no subtraction of recognized donated food; derived volunteer gross companion. Neither is a marginal cash quote or capacity promise.

Separate health/resource resident shares .98 for LA/Orange shopper pathway; no farmer/headquarters attribution.

Gift-supported redemption=gift/supportCost*redeemedScale*funding. Disjoint free/substitution/diet cohorts precede health and household-state ledgers. Diet-only finite health uses healthPerUnit/healthUnit, independently of householdDose incidence. Signed cash loss, restricted transfer, actual lost pay and recovery pay use sequential shared log-resource baselines; positive overlap applies only to positives. Price10=10*gift/(known positive local health+signed resources).

Historical clinical central; not current combined comparison: Cost: $3.0M; Los Angeles health QALYs: 3.03; all-population health QALYs: 3.10. One-year net health only. Not empirically calibrated. Full recipient expense, one adult trajectory per standardized equivalent, no household multiplier.

Counterfactual: Existing qualifying food spending, other free incentives, public reimbursement and alternative food programs continue; no automatic gift match. Net qualifying-cost stress is separate from travel.

Attribution: Restricted food or freed food budget counts once; no transaction/household/member multiplication, donated foodstock cash, farmer revenue or charity payroll addition.

Conditional finite planning comparison; no identified whole-portfolio expected return, probability intervals or verified marginal tranche.

Sensitivity

  • 40 unweighted current cases plus a displayed historical clinical central; full 13-case historicalModel preserved. Not confidence bounds.
  • Paired healthUnit/healthPerUnit changes are pure units; householdDose changes substantive incidence.
  • Gross-only accounting leaves physical redemptions and health/resources fixed.
  • Restricted resource value is not cash handed to households; actual outlays and pay remain separately signed.
  • Numeric zero placeholders with unavailable knowledge do not prove absent routes.

Unresolved inputs

  • Current HALA signed contracts, unrestricted liquidity and reimbursement aging.
  • Net replaced versus expired county allocation and eligible unfunded service queue.
  • Unique resident households, repeat exposure and incentive redemptions by year/market.
  • Causal finite health utility versus realistic alternatives.
  • Food pound/value and program grant-subtotal reconciliations.
  • Unrecognized volunteer and outside resource values; non-overlapping other program health.
  • Actual net household consumption, restricted-value preferences, incremental qualifying expense/travel/pay and unique annual exposure.
  • Disjoint residence/other-free substitution, diet-health and financial-stress overlap; clinical and work response to an additional ordinary gift.

Health and income breakdown

For the modeled $10K: 0.00 health QALYs + 0.01 income-equivalent healthy years in Los Angeles: $1.0M per DALY. Income equivalents are welfare comparisons, not observed QALYs or DALYs.

5. Funding and previous grants

In 2024, $805,512 of Market Match incentives flowed through Ecology Center invoices and $419,067 through county ARPA via Food Access LA. Food Access LA's 2025 report says that county ARP program concluded and names HALA among partners. Thus the county channel cannot be presumed ongoing. Conversely, CDFA's current award list confirms renewed Ecology Center funding and a $394,271 Food Access LA WIC/Senior expansion award involving HALA. Statewide and partner awards are not all HALA revenue, and no net HALA shortfall is established.

The 2026 CNIP RFP anticipates $13.5 million statewide with one-year awards within a February 2027–June 2028 window. Match is not mandatory; cost sharing is scored but no automatic donation multiplier exists. Incentive and indirect-cost restrictions might leave some costs uncovered, but a current HALA budget is needed to quantify that. No anti-supplant rule was located. Published deadline details conflict; this report is not application advice.

At year-end 2024 cash was $81,479, about 0.33 months of annual expense, while grants receivable were $312,495, 79% of assets. Unrestricted net assets were $86,037 versus restricted $184,912. These are dated liquidity indicators, not available-cash or insolvency conclusions. Schedule L discloses an outstanding $10,000 officer loan without indicated board approval or written agreement; diligence is warranted, not a misconduct inference.

Donor readiness remains on hold. Obtain current contracts and reimbursement aging, unrestricted cash, replaced ARPA allocations, an unfunded eligible demand queue, and a priced marginal plan showing what changes with versus without a gift. Historical scale is a normalization, not a verified funding tranche. The central 25% funding response remains judgment; replacement can make it zero. No donation, outreach or application was made.

Current comparison: funding=.25 is a conditional proportional-response judgment, not verified extra slots or an identified expected return. Otherwise-equivalent free incentives are separately partitioned at .30 of gift-supported redemption. Current CDFA awards involving HALA do not disclose its complete allocation; the expired county program and public replacement baseline remain unresolved. No automatic private match, outreach or donation is claimed.

Annual expenses
