About: 

​Building Healthy Communities is a ten-year comprehensive community initiative supported by the California Endowment, creating a revolution in the way Californians think about and support health in their communities. Through Building Healthy Communities Boyle Heights (BHCBH), residents and community based organizations are engaged in social justice movement building, working to ensure that all community members have access to quality physical and mental health care, affordable housing, high performing schools, vibrant green spaces, inclusive and equitable community development with community input, and resources to support youth. This is done by building leadership and organizing capacity and people power of youth and adult residents, enhancing collaboration and policy innovation, leveraging partnerships and resources, and changing narratives to engage in advocacy for policy and system change.
