| Policy Outcome(s): | The Community Health Improvement Action Plan is a supplementary document for the Full Community Health Improvement Plan. The action plan has two components: access to care and healthy eating and active living (HEAL). The goal for the former component is for at least 95% of Denver residents to have access to primary medical care and behavioral health care by 2018. The goal for HEAL is an increase by 5 percentage points by 2018 of Denver children and adolescents who are at a healthy weight. To accomplish this goal, objectives include increasing access to nutritious food in underserved areas and schools, incorporating health in policy, processing, and planning, and developing a HEAL marketing campaign. Strategies to accomplish these objectives include creating incentives for grocery stores and convenience stores in low-income areas to offer healthy foods, increasing urban agriculture and gardens, improving access to farmers markets for low-income populations, and implementing healthy vending policies. The latter strategy was accomplished in 2018 when the Mayor of Denver, Michael Hancock, passed an executive order for healthier vending machines throughout the city. |

| Funding Amount: | One-time grant of $470,000 to help implementation of the Greensboro Fresh Food Access Plan |
| Funding Sources: | US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP) |
| Policy Outcome(s): | Funded by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP), this plan set goals to increase retail access to fresh, local produce, and to strengthen the local food system in Greensboro. In order to meet these goals, the Greensboro Fresh Food Action Plan offers three comprehensive strategies: (1) improve retail access to fresh local foods in neighborhoods through community efforts and initiatives; (2) expand existing local food business enterprises; and (3) create new local food business enterprises that address identified gaps in food access. Based on findings from interviews and surveys of residents, businesses, and food system stakeholders, the plan’s recommendations and analyses were compiled to supplement pre-existing community efforts and to address issues related to food access. Some key recommendations are to conduct a Know your Farmer education and outreach campaign to bring awareness to locally available fresh foods, to establish a Food Hub in order to narrow the gap in local food access, to build and sustain relationships between producers, distributors, and customers in effort to create a sustainable market demand for local fresh foods in Greensboro, and several other tangible suggestions. The City of Greensboro offers these recommendations as opportunities of optional participation and encourage public engagement and formation of partnerships amid implementation. The plan was adopted by the Greensboro City Council in 2015. |

| Funding Amount: | $104,000 total for one year |
| Funding Sources: | Funders' Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities, the George Gund Foundation, and the Cleveland Foundation |
| Policy Outcome(s): | This plan provides a comprehensive update on the climate action plan launched by the City of Cleveland in 2013. While many of the focus areas have remained the same over the course of the five years, this plan focuses on scaling up the strategies currently in place in order to increase access to those most in need. Attention was given into “equitably-driven sustainability and climate action,” through an community engagement process, which includes workshops, demographic diversity, and the joint identification of climate priorities by city officials and community residents. The priorities identified by city officials and community residents (i.e., social and racial equity; good jobs, green jobs; climate resilience; and business leadership) were addressed in each of the plan’s primary focus areas: energy efficiency and green building; clean energy; sustainable transportation; clean water and vibrant green space; and more local food, less waste. The latter point, which focuses on local food sourcing and waste reduction, is meant to achieve three specific goals (i.e., encouraging waste reduction and diversion in homes and businesses; reduce food waste and hunger; and enhance the local food system and resident access to high quality, affordable, healthy food) while increasing equity, access, economic viability, climate resiliency, and leadership. |
