Building Healthy Communities:
The California Endowment InitiativeIn 2010, The California Endowment will launch Building Healthy Communities, a 10-year strategic plan to improve health systems and the physical, social, economic and service structures that support healthy living and healthy behaviors in California. The Endowment has identified 14 communities throughout California to partner with and fund, including South Los Angeles. The Endowment will enter into long-term partnerships with local leaders to improve environments, policies and health outcomes for children, youth and their families. The Initiative begins with a planning phase starting June 1, 2009 that will last nine months, until February 26, 2010. After that, The Endowment will make grants directly to qualifying non-profit organizations based on the plans developed during the planning process. South LA Response
