Healthy Neighborhoods

The conditions of our neighborhoods have a direct and indirect impact on our health. Healthy neighborhoods provide safe and affordable homes, opportunities for neighbors to connect, and access to nutritious foods and safe places to be active. Policies that promote health and health equity result in neighborhoods where everyone has the opportunity to be healthy.

OVERVIEW

Where We're Working

Alliance for Healthy Homes and Communities

The foundation has a history of supporting work in neighborhoods to improve the health of communities. We are currently developing a program to help build strong bonds between neighbors in communities across the state by continuing, improving or extending the reach of gathering places and programs that build connections in low-income communities.

PROGRAMS

Connect for Health Challenge

Relationships matter to your health. Strong connections to friends and neighbors make people more likely to be involved in their communities, perform better in school, and live longer, healthier lives.
