Healthy Food Financing Initiative

The Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) is a program designed to increase access to fresh, nutritious foods in underserved communities. It provides funding and support to help establish grocery stores, farmers' markets, and other food retailers in areas lacking healthy food options. By encouraging investments in these communities, HFFI aims to improve public health, reduce food insecurity, and promote economic growth. The initiative involves federal agencies working together to remove barriers and create more equitable opportunities for residents to access affordable, healthy foods.
