LACDPH and partners run the Healthy Neighborhood Market Network countywide, helping corner stores in food-desert communities stock fresh produce. The program offers refrigeration grants, technical assistance, and marketing support; participation is voluntary, not a mandate.
LA County Department of Public Health, with the LA Food Policy Council and community partners, operates the Healthy Neighborhood Market Network across high-need neighborhoods in the county. The voluntary program supports independent corner stores in adopting healthier inventory: fresh fruits and vegetables, low-sugar beverages, and whole-grain options. Stores receive refrigeration equipment grants, store-redesign help, supplier matchmaking, and signage. Participating cities including unincorporated communities like Florence-Graham and East LA pair the program with zoning incentives. Some jurisdictions add fast-food formula-restaurant overlays through their own city plans; LA County has no countywide fast-food moratorium. Program priorities target census tracts identified by USDA as low-income, low-access food deserts.
The program is incentive-based, not punitive, so there are no specific violations. Stores that accept grants must meet stocking commitments under their participation agreement or face equipment recovery and removal from the network.
