The challenge in PR

30% of adults live with food insecurity and chronic disease simultaneously.

Section 330 Centers serve this population but absorb logistics, storage, and compliance work outside their clinical mission.

The opportunity

Federal funding is already in place — what's missing is the operator.

  • HRSA Section 330. permits FIM as an enabling service

  • SNAP-Ed / GUSNIP. 1:1 federal match for nutrition incentives

  • Section 1115 + ILOS. HRSN reimbursable under Medicaid

  • CMS Z-Codes. audit-ready HRSN documentation

Proof in pictures

3 million USDA boxes. 9 months. Federal scale.

During COVID-19, Caribbean Produce Exchange ran the USDA Farmers-to-Families operation across all of Puerto Rico — the operational base every Fresh House program builds on today.
