Creating safer, healthier and more vibrant neighborhoods

Because the physical environment and quality of life in communities have a profound effect on people, WHEDco works to improve conditions in the neighborhoods surrounding our housing.

Beautiful, high-quality, healthy places enable residents to take pride in their communities and thrive.

And because health and wellness are critical to helping people reach their potential and achieve success, we raise awareness among residents of our communities about good nutrition and physical fitness.
