The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $150,000 Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CFDA 17.289) grant to City Seed, Inc. (doing business as Cityseed), a non-profit organization in New Haven, Connecticut. The grant, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will fund the organization's CitySeed Incubates program, which provides entrepreneurial training, shared-use commercial kitchen facilities, and comprehensive business support services to farms, food ventures, and entrepreneurs, with a focus on supporting underserved populations such as people of color, women, and immigrants in the local area. This grant award builds on City Seed's prior federal funding from the Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which have supported the organization's efforts to strengthen the local and regional food ecosystem through initiatives like mid-tier value chain development, supply chain coordination, and facility retrofitting.
