the Story

Sometimes, the world is not the way you want it to be. How do you make it better?

She would love it more if she could play at the park across the street from it. But it’s dirty, broken, and rundown. What can she do to make the neighborhood park a fun and welcoming place for everyone again?

the Project

See how a $60,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation delivered more than $1 million of value improvements to core neighborhoods in Roseville, California.

The City of Roseville and the Health Education Council teamed up to work on Invest Health in Roseville’s downtown “core neighborhoods.” 

The core neighborhoods have higher rates of health issues such as obesity and chronic disease related to a variety of economic, social and environmental factors. 

The City prioritized the core neighborhoods for attention and Invest Health raised the importance of this focus by educating stakeholders about the need, equity issues, and social determinants related to health disparities.

Invest Health Roseville

The City of Roseville was chosen as one of the 50 cities funded from hundreds of applications by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Thanks to the initial $60,000 grant and guidance from the Reinvestment Fund, Roseville and the Health Education Council set out to make big impact in the most in-need neighborhoods.
