About Community based Programs
Steps to a Healthier Cleveland is building “Communities on the Move” throughout the City of Cleveland. We target 14 specific neighborhoods in Cleveland to receive the following community-based programs:
- community gardens
- Safe Routes to School
- healthy neighborhood maps
- neighborhood walking clubs and Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound
- healthy corner stores
Through a unique partnership with the Cleveland Neighborhood Development Corporation (CNDC) and 14 Community Development Corporations (CDCs), Steps collaborates with community organizers in each of the targeted “Community on the Move” neighborhoods to bring healthy living messages and programs directly to residents.
Steps to a Healthier Cleveland also works to increase opportunities for active living, healthy eating and smoke-free environments throughout the City. All Cleveland neighborhoods benefit from Steps programs such as:
- Healthy Cleveland Business Council
- Freedom From Smoking and Smoke-Free Ohio education and enforcement
- Bike and pedestrian programming
- Faith-based health health ambassadors
