Food insecurity disproportionately impacts the lives of families in vulnerable households, which struggle with financial instability, low-income and unemployment. This paper investigated the food insecurity status of vulnerable households within the Nakuru Town West Sub County using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) model developed by Coates, Swindale, and Bilinsky (2007) [2]. Additionally, the paper explored respondents' perceptions and behavioral responses regarding household food insecurity.
