Our Projects

We work on short-term projects that advance issues and areas we care about. Projects have specific completion timelines, may span months or years, and may involve community planning, engagement, or construction management activities. Check out our current and past projects below.

Current Projects

Calwa Park Renovation

Fresno Building Healthy Communities, in partnership with Friends of Calwa, Inc , and Calwa Recreation and Park District, secured a $6.6 million grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation Statewide Park Program to renovate Calwa Park (funded by Prop 68).

Past Projects

Western Reaches Access Activation Plan (WRAAP)

Together with community partners, we are working to preserve and beautify the San Joaquin River Parkway. With the efforts for restoration and access, this plan intends to make the idea of #River4All a reality for all Fresnans.

COVID-19 Equity Project

When COVID-19 hit our community, it didn’t affect everyone the same. Some people already had a hard time finding a place to go see a doctor, living paycheck to paycheck, and experiencing language barriers and discrimination. The COVID-19 Equity Project was designed to be a resource for our most affected and vulnerable communities.

Protect the San Joaquin River Gorge

Fresno Building Healthy Communities supports access to clean, safe parks and outdoor green space and recreational opportunities for everyone! However, for most Fresnans, access to quality outdoor space is few and far between.

Support Our Efforts

We rely on the generous support of our community. Your contribution will help us continue our general and programmatic efforts, such as our Resident Leadership programs, Youth Internship Program, and community events. You can also designate your contribution to support our DACA scholarship fund, the #SaveTheSeñoras rapid response senior assistance program, or the Chicano Youth Center.
