Farm to Institution New England (FINE)(farmtoinstitution.org) is a six-state network of nonprofit, public and private entities working collaboratively to mobilize the power of New England institutions to transform our food system. FINE works to make changes in the regional food system that result in more local food served at institutions, a more developed and diverse regional network of individuals and entities across all parts of the food system, that are mobilizing the power of institutions to transform the food system, broader stakeholder understanding of the role of farm to institution, and stronger state and federal policies in support of farm to institution to get more local food on the menu. FINE works to connect supply and demand via three core functions: convening, communications, and research. Farm to Institution New England (FINE) is a fiscally sponsored organization of TSNE (tsne.org).   Project Description https://www.farmtoinstitution.org/blog/partnership-funded-for-farm-institution-2022 Rooted in Community, a localized approach to growing the farm to institution movement in New England, is a three-year-long project that will create a collaborative values-based approach to building a community-centered food system that shifts the institutional power dynamics around race. The three New England communities of Springfield, MA, New Haven, CT, and Cumberland County, ME, will serve as a cohort for shared learning and implementation of farm to institution initiatives in schools, colleges, health care, and the carceral system. The cohort is represented by community-based organizations: Springfield Food Policy Council, Cumberland County Food Security Council, and the City of New Haven Food System Policy Division, all of which are already driving food systems change at the local level. The project is coordinated and administered by Farm to Institution New England (FINE), serving to connect the local cohort members with regional partners, resources, and training, while sharing stories and strategies developed in each community with the broader food systems network. Funding is provided by the USDA Regional Food System Partnership program.

  Opportunity The North Hartford Partnership (NHP) seeks an entrepreneurial leader to bring together and inspire residents and institutions around shared, data-driven strategies to close health, housing and economic opportunity gaps across North Hartford. The inaugural Executive Director of this newly independent nonprofit will use a collective impact approach centered on resident participation and data driven improvement strategies to advance economic mobility and outcomes for North Hartford residents. The Executive Director will lead the NHP to the next level at a moment of dynamic and exciting change for the community. The Executive Director will steward existing projects including: - The operations of the Swift Factory, an economic development and health promotion hub developed by Community Solutions and the NHP that opened in 2020 in the heart of the community. - A range of housing stabilization and physical development initiatives including the North Hartford Housing Trust. - Facilitation of collective, resident-led improvements to closing health equity and opportunity gaps between North Hartford and the surrounding region. - Support of key partner-led initiatives to improve cradle to career opportunities for neighborhood children, and a bold effort to eliminate “inflow” into homelessness from North Hartford that serves as a national model. Organization The North Hartford Partnership is a nonprofit organization working with the community to advance equitable social and economic development in the North Hartford Promise Zone (NHPZ) in Hartford, Connecticut. Working with residents, local partners and the NHP Board, the Executive Director will be accountable for achieving measurable, population level goals through collective action. Launched as a project of Community Solutions International in 2010, the North Hartford Partnership became a separate, affiliated not for profit in 2022. The Executive Director will oversee an initial staff of four, an annual operating budget of approximately $1 million, management of the 85,000 square foot campus of the Swift Factory, and operation of the North Hartford Housing Trust (NHHT), a separate legal entity supported by the NHP. Responsible for convening partners and stakeholders to advance collective priorities, the Executive Director will report to the NHP Board of Directors.   North Hartford is a 3.11 square mile area home to nearly 24,000 residents, a neighborhood rich in assets and home to an active community of West Indian/Caribbean immigrants, African Americans, and Latinos. Over the years, economic conditions have compounded with the effects of decades of racially biased policies and disinvestment leading to housing instability, poor health outcomes and decreased average life expectancy. Housing stability is an urgent concern, with an estimated >20% of homelessness in the region originating from North Hartford alone and eviction rates also among the highest in the region.   Priorities The successful candidate will embrace and lead a community-organizing ethos that puts residents in the driver's seat of identifying and implementing solutions to shared problems and opportunities, and help identify faltering public systems to increase their efficacy for residents through collaborative action. The Executive Director will lead and inspire staff, volunteers and partners to collaborate, learn, and propel systemic change in population level health, safety and economic prosperity, with a particular focus on community outcomes for housing stability and job creation. They will identify, partner with and support organizations in the neighborhood that share the values of resident leadership and collective action and a steadfast commitment to achieving racial justice.   The Executive Director will create and respond to feedback loops to assess and advance progress towards measurable, time-bound, neighborhood improvement goals; look past commonly accepted system flaws and find new opportunities to leapfrog the neighborhood to new heights and collaborate with partners and residents to develop common tools and resources to expedite design, adoption and scaling up of collective neighborhood initiatives.
