Terms such as "food desert" and "underserved" have become commonplace, yet clear definitions can be elusive and vary by state and program. Other challenges include building a robust pipeline of applicants and marketing the program effectively, as well as attracting additional investment to support projects. This webinar<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/vqax3btomabe&eom> will discuss how these initiatives are being administered by community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and food access organizations on the local and state level. Participants will learn how program administrators determine the eligibility of projects in areas of need, employ marketing and outreach strategies to attract grocery applicants, and attract additional investments to healthy food financing programs. Speakers will share best practices and case studies from the field. Featured Speakers: * Julia Koprak, Program Manager, The Food Trust * Caroline Harries, Associate Director, The Food Trust * Sajan Philip, Loan Officer, Low Income Investment Fund * Gary Williams, Senior Vice President, Hope Enterprise Corporation CLICK HERE TO REGISTER<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/vqax3btomabe&eom>.
