Dana-Farber Cancer Institute commits $1 million to CLF, MHIC community investment fund
July 13, 2021 (BOSTON, MA) – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has committed $1 million to the Healthy Neighborhoods Equity Fund, founded by Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) and Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC). The fund was created to finance healthy and inclusive transit-oriented development projects in Greater Boston that might otherwise have gone unfunded. “The lack of access to affordable, stable housing increases susceptibility to a variety of serious illnesses, including cancer, while also contributing to worse outcomes for patients living with this disease,” said Magnolia Contreras, Vice President for Community Health at Dana-Farber. “An essential component of Dana-Farber’s mission is to address the root causes of health disparities that lead to cancer and we are proud to join CLF and MHIC in making this investment in the communities we serve.”
