Project
There are currently 725,000 people who experience food insecurity in Houston, with 500,000 of those individuals living in federally-designated “food deserts,” where the closest supermarket is over a mile away. FUSE will help the city invest in its food ecosystem, not only to combat hunger and food insecurity in historically underserved communities of color, but also to provide new pathways to employment in these neighborhoods. FUSE will implement a comprehensive food access plan that bolsters food-related businesses and employment opportunities.
