Supporting access to healthy affordable food

Overview
The Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) supports projects that increase access to healthy affordable food in communities that currently lack these options. Through a range of programs at the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) Treasury and Health and Human Services (HHS) HFFI will expand the availability of nutritious food including developing and equipping grocery stores small retailers corner stores and farmers markets selling healthy food. Residents of these communities which are sometimes called food deserts typically rely on fast food restaurants and convenience stores that offer little or no fresh food. Healthy food options are hard to find in these communities or are unaffordable.
