Building Healthy Communities

Building Healthy Communities Where we live, our race, and our income play a big part in how well and how long we live. We need to reshape the places that shape us—our neighborhoods.

Building Healthy Communities (BHC) is a 10 year, $1 billion comprehensive community initiative launched by The California Endowment in 2010 to advance statewide policy, change the narrative, and transform 14 of California’s communities most devastated by health inequities into places where all people have an opportunity to thrive. Your zip code shouldn’t determine how long you live, but it does. I

n fact, health has more to do with place than doctors visits. The odds are stacked against low-income communities and communities of color. Building Healthy Communities is about changing rules at the local and state levels so that everyone is valued and has access to the resources and opportunities essential for health: affordable housing and fresh food, jobs that are safe and pay fair wages, clean air, and the other ingredients essential for a healthy life.
