America’s Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) aims to build a more equitable food system that supports the health and economic vibrancy of all Americans.
HFFI provides grants, loans, and technical assistance to improve access to healthy food in underserved areas, create and preserve quality jobs, and revitalize low-income communities. HFFI supports the capacity of local and regional Healthy Food Financing Partnerships, and provides financial and technical assistance to eligible healthy food retailers and food enterprises to overcome the higher costs and initial barriers entry in areas with inequitable access.
