Food Business Pathways Program
Do you sell FOOD for money? Put your FOOD BUSINESS on the path to success!
The NYCHA Food Business Pathways Program (FBP) is a collaboration between the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS), The NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Citi Community Development, Hot Bread Kitchen, Start Small Think Big, NYCHA REES, other kitchen incubators, and REES zone partners around the city.
This FREE innovative business accelerator program empowers NYCHA public housing residents and NYCHA Section 8 voucher holders to start and grow food businesses as part of New York City’s efforts to support entrepreneurs in the city’s neighborhoods and communities.
Participants receive:
- 10 weeks of business training
- Grants to pay for your food handler’s license and business incoporation (NOT nonprofits)
- Access to a commercial kitchen
- Business mentoring and coaching
Lance Brown, Food Business Pathways Graduate – “The Food Pathways has been such a blessing to and for me. Since attending and graduating from the program I have made serious headway in the establishment of my business. I’m now a registered corporation, all my business papers are completed, I’m operating part-time doing catering and the future looks great.”
