Communities on the Move

Steps to a Healthier Cleveland is building “Communities on the Move” throughout the City of Cleveland. We target 14 specific neighborhoods and work with community organizers in these neighborhoods to reach out to residents with our healthy living messages and programs:

  • Bellaire-Puritas
  • Central
  • Cudell-Edgewater
  • Detroit Shoreway
  • Downtown
  • Fairfax
  • Hough
  • Kinsman
  • Ohio City
  • Slavic Village
  • St. Clair Superior
  • Stockyards
  • Tremont
  • Woodland Hills

What makes a Community on the Move?

We like to describe the neighborhoods we work with as “Communities on the Move.” A community on the move has:

  • complete streets—sidewalks and streets that support walking and biking
  • safe routes to school
  • active recreation and greenspace
  • access to healthy foods and fresh produce
  • advertising that promotes healthy behaviors
  • farmer’s markets and community gardens
  • limited fast food
