Healthy Living Initiatives

Embracing a Culture of Health

Research confirms that low-income and minority individuals experience higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. As an affordable housing nonprofit serving this population, we are committed to improving the well-being of our residents by providing health programming right where they live and eliminating the barriers of transportation, cost and childcare.

Our Healthy Living Initiatives serve our residents and neighbors.
All of our classes are free and open to the public. In most cases, childcare is provided.

Nikki Rivera and her family visit the Healthy Food Pantry at Laurel Creek Apartments twice-a-month. It helps them find a little relief from the soaring cost of groceries. Plus, with the fresh vegetables and fruits they receive, they’re learning to cook and eat healthier, as you’ll see by clicking on the video above.

“I never thought that I would appreciate a food pantry on-site, and I would have never known had I not been accepted to live in these apartments. For that, I’m super grateful.”
