Healthy Food Access for All Americans Act
The Healthy Food Access for All Americans Act establishes tax credits and grants to improve access to healthy food in underserved communities. It provides a 15% tax credit for new grocery store construction and 10% for renovations in designated food deserts, along with grants covering 15% of food bank construction costs and 10% of operational costs for temporary food access services. To qualify, businesses must operate in areas meeting specific food desert criteria (limited grocery access, high poverty rates, and low income levels) and obtain certification as a "Special Access Food Provider." The program directly affects grocery stores, food banks, mobile markets, and farmers markets operating in food deserts.
