📣 This morning, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Reinvestment Fund and the USDA announced that 16 organizations have been selected for the Healthy Food Financing (HFFI) Local and Regional Partnerships Program. 

Reinvestment Fund's Anne Misak stated, "America’s HFFI program has already invested over $25 million in direct funding for 162 food retail and food retail supply chain projects. Past projects are located in 48 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. HFFI is truly a national program, working to improve access to healthy food, grow local economic opportunities, and strength local food supply chains. Reinvestment Fund is grateful to USDA, the Biden-Harris Administration, and Congress for the increased funding that allowed America’s HFFI to expand to include the HFFI Partnerships Program. This combination of resources is critical to ensuring that all American’s have access to good food and economic opportunities in their communities."

Over $40M in grants will support food financing programs to provide funding to food retail and food supply chain projects in rural, urban and Tribal communities serving 20 states and Washington D.C.
