“ChangeLab Solutions works across the nation to advance equitable laws and policies that help make communities healthy places to live for everyone. We prioritize communities whose residents are at highest risk for poor health. We are an interdisciplinary team of lawyers, planners, policy analysts, and more, working with neighborhoods, cities, and states to create thriving communities. Our solutions address all aspects of a just, vital and thriving community, like food, housing, child care, schools, transportation, public safety, jobs, and the environment. Through our model laws and policies, and "how to" research and resources, we build the capacity of under-resourced and historically marginalized communities to solve systemic problems in their neighborhoods, cities, states and tribes. We accomplish our work through two primary strategies: by creating laws and policies to address the social determinants of health and by building the capacity of communities and the public health workforce to utilize the tools of law and policy to address structural challenges affecting community health. ChangeLab Solutions (formerly Public Health Law & Policy) was incorporated in California in October, 2008 after being a project of the Public Health Institute since 1994. Laws and Policies to Address the Social Determinants of Health: ChangeLab Solutions works to ensure that all aspects of civic life - from food systems to housing, transportation, education, jobs, the economy, and the environment - lead to greater health equity and are designed to improve community health. We provide community leaders and advocates, health professionals, government attorneys, and elected officials with model laws and policies and "how to" resources and technical assistance services on a broad range of issues. Community and Workforce Capacity Building: ChangeLab Solutions works in close partnership in cities, regions and with Indian nations across the country, and we offer free on-line and on-demand training to the entire public health workforce. Our goal is to empower leadership with the tools and resources they need to move from aspiration to action to results. We support some communities and professionals with light touch and on-demand technical assistance over the phone, offer webinars on core subjects open to a broad array of stakeholders, and commit to deep-dive capacity-building opportunities with a handful of neighborhoods, cities, regions and tribal nations throughout the country. We have had the honor of working with advocates and leaders in all 50 states. We work in a range of content areas as described in sections 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d. One of the key ways we have built the capacity of the public health workforce is through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (described in section 4a).”
