Summary
Prevention Institute facilitates LA's Healthy, Equitable, Active Land Use (HEALU) Network, whose members represent a broad array of topical expertise (active transportation, parks, affordable housing, safe routes to school, environmental law, public health, and more) and varying approaches, from grassroots organizing to community development to strategic policy advocacy. These high-capacity organizations come together to examine the underlying structural barriers that touch each partner's work across a range of issues. Together, HEALU Network partners identify key ‘levers' of opportunity to fundamentally shift land use planning practices so they promote health equity in the first place.
