Many live in neighborhoods with high rates of violence, food insecurity, lack of access to a vehicle, home rental cost increases, and other unsafe spaces that threaten health and safety. Racial and ethnic minorities and low-income people are more likely to live in health-risk areas. Policy changes and interventions can help reduce these risks to promote health and well-being.
The Challenges We Face
How We Work
Convening
We have organized or supported multiple convenings of nonprofits, city/county government, neighborhood residents, and other stakeholders to better understand the state of housing and housing resource needs in the community.
Collaboration
Through the Foundation’s Healthy Minds initiative, behavioral health service organizations are exploring innovative opportunities to address barriers to transportation for their clients.
Advocacy
We support an effort to establish a housing coalition that will be an advocate for fair, safe, and affordable housing for low- and moderate-income people and families in High Point.
