Healthy Communities

The Healthy Communities Program empowers economically disadvantaged individuals and families to lead healthier lifestyles by addressing key barriers to health equity. Our program promotes informed decision-making and provides access to essential health and housing resources, helping to build healthier communities in the metro Atlanta area.

• Health and Housing Services:

  • We offer a variety of services designed to improve both physical health and housing stability for underserved populations.

• Educational Sessions and Resources:

  • Our program hosts informative educational sessions that focus on topics like nutrition, exercise, and preventive healthcare.

  • Participants receive reliable resources to help them make healthy choices for themselves and their families.

• Targeting Barriers to Health Equity:

  • Economic Barriers: We work to reduce the financial obstacles that prevent individuals from accessing healthcare and healthy living opportunities.

  • Environmental Barriers: Our initiatives address the environmental challenges, such as unsafe housing conditions, that negatively affect community health.

  • Social Barriers: By providing support and education, we help individuals overcome social barriers to achieving better health outcomes.

Through these efforts, the Healthy Communities Program strives to establish “healthy homes, healthy bodies, and healthy literacy” for the underserved in metro Atlanta, promoting long-term well-being and health equity.
