The Reinvestment Fund, Inc. was awarded a $95 million Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Healthy Food Financing Initiative program. The grant will support improving access to healthy foods in underserved areas of Pennsylvania through 2024. As the objective of the Healthy Food Financing Initiative is to enhance food access, create jobs, and revitalize low-income communities, the funding will likely be used by The Reinvestment Fund to finance projects that open or expand supermarkets and grocery stores, food banks, mobile markets, corner stores, and other retailers selling healthy food in economically disadvantaged areas of the state. The $95M award was issued on September 20, 2022 to address food access challenges through job creation and community development over the two-year grant period.
