Our mission has two priorities: 1) de- livering culturally appropriate health-related services and programming to address urgent health concerns; and 2) engaging individuals in low-income, low opportunity areas in trans- forming their environment and creating positive, concrete changes in their homes and communities by providing tools, training, and mechanisms for civic participation . We firmly believe that achieving our vision of a healthy, equi- table, inclusive and prosperous community requires that community residents should be involved in every decision and every step of the process to create change . LHA’s official motto is “Participation Makes a Difference,” and we constantly reflect as an organization the importance of expanding opportunities for residents to participate in creating solutions and healthier communities . Our community-centered approach has helped the City of Santa Ana and the County to actively connect with hard- to-reach populations to be active participants of equitable active transportation policy and strategies . The activi- ties have been multi-generational at various community settings (e .g . schools, parks and trails, community-based organizational partners, neighborhoods, bus stops, trails, among others) . We have previously collaborated with mu- nicipalities and city staff from Santa Ana, Tustin, Newport, Costa Mesa, Los Alamitos, and Anaheim .
