Building a Healthier Newark, One Community at a Time
Empowering residents through access to nutritious food and safe, affordable housing
Every Newark resident deserves the opportunity to thrive. Social factors such as access to healthy and safe home environments, along with nutritious food, are essential foundations for success. At Newark Alliance, we’re partnering with the region’s leading healthcare organizations and community leaders to catalyze support for initiatives that bring these critical resources directly to Newarkers.
Creating a Vision
Empowering Food Access
We are working collectively to achieve access to fresh, nutritious food for every Newark resident. Through strategic partnerships and community-driven projects, we are activating distressed properties to create retail spaces for local food purveyors in downtown food hubs, supporting local food production and making healthy food options more accessible and across the city.
Creating Safe, Affordable Housing
Housing is more than just a place to live—it’s a foundation for a stable, healthy life. We’re working to address the housing needs of low-income residents by partnering with organizations that holistically approach these challenges. Together, we’re advocating for the creation of new affordable housing and supporting initiatives that ensure safe living conditions for all.
