Economic Justice Fund

---

The Economic Justice Fund (EJF) was initially launched in the summer of 2020 with a commitment to give $600,000 to families in the Newhallville and Dixwell neighborhoods for basic needs. This expanded coverage is targeted for established Black-owned businesses that have been in operation for at least 24 months in New Haven. The goal of the fund is to create a cadre of Black businesses that are economically resilient to withstand economic recessions as well as being wealth and wage generators for their owners, employees, and the community at large.
