This project is funded under the Foundation's program, Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities, which was designed to implement systems, policies and environmental strategies with potential to prevent childhood obesity in populations at greatest risk. The purpose of the project is to improve the policies and systems that support healthy eating and active living for children living in four public housing sites within King County. Deliverables include increasing physical activity access, opportunities and levels; improving consumption of healthy foods; creating a strong local and sustainable food system; enhancing public housing social and built environments to support healthy living; and creating systems change at the community, organizational and policy levels.
