Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), such as housing, income, education, safety, and access to healthcare, directly impact the well-being of the Lyell-Otis community. 

SAFETY: Can be addressed in a community by improving street lighting, maintaining sidewalks and public spaces, organizing neighborhood watch programs, increasing positive community activities, and building stronger relationships between residents and local organizations. These efforts help reduce crime, prevent accidents, and create a safer environment where residents feel comfortable and supported 

HOUSING: Improving housing through home repairs, affordable housing, and neighborhood maintenance, along with increasing safety through better lighting, neighborhood cleanups, and community involvement. 

GARDENING: Food security can be addressed by increasing access to affordable, healthy food through community gardens, urban farming, food pantries, and local food distribution programs. Community gardening allows residents to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, learn gardening skills, and work together while improving access to nutritious foods and strengthening neighborhood connections. 

Addressing these needs through community resources and programs can help create a healthier, safer, and stronger neighborhood.
