Food Business Pathways Program

Do you sell FOOD for money? Put your FOOD BUSINESS on the path to success!

The NYCHA Food Business Pathways (FBP) program is a collaboration between the NYC Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) Office of Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability (REES), NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS), Citi Community Development, Hot Bread Kitchen, Start Small Think Big, other kitchen incubators, and REES zone partners around the city.

For more information, visit http://opportunitynycha.org/business-development/food-business-pathways/.

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

Joann Poe, Food Business Pathways Graduate & Owner of NYC’s Best Dressed Cupcakes – “Working with my business coach, it really sunk in that I can go out and get clients. I came to the realization that this is really happening. I never tried to get sales, and waited for people to come to me. Now in order for my food business to thrive, I have to go out there and sell. Once I started cooking in a commercial kitchen, I kept getting more orders.”
