The Trump administration is ending two programs that provide locally produced food to schools, child-care facilities, and food banks. The programs, worth a combined annual $1 billion, were key to getting around pandemic-era supply chain problems. A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture said the programs “no longer effectuate the goals of the agency.” The shutdown comes as schools are increasingly struggling to afford healthy food for their students and food banks have seen demand skyrocket as inflation pushes more people into food insecurity.

Open Philanthropy is launching a $120 million effort to help cut the red tape that can block development of housing and infrastructure across the country. The grant maker, funded primarily by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife, Cari Tuna, will be joined by the Good Ventures foundation, Stripe CEO and founder Patrick Collison and others. Their new Abundance and Growth Fund will support “advocacy, research, and policies to reduce burdensome regulatory barriers,” which a growing corps of commentators have blamed for making housing scarce and unaffordable.
