At the Moline Apartments, an affordable housing community facing rising rents, safety concerns, and limited access to wellness resources, the be well Healthy Living Center has become so much more than a program; it has become a lifeline.
Over the past three years, the Center has:
✨ Hosted hundreds of wellness activities, from yoga and Xtreme Hip Hop to mental health workshops.
✨ Delivered monthly food distributions, consistently serving 200 residents.
✨ Provided health screenings, dental care, and behavioral health support.
✨ Supported 25 resident leaders through Block Captain training.
✨ Built a Resident Advisory Council that now leads safety efforts, organizes walking programs, and advocates directly with city officials.
✨ Connected residents with 50+ partner organizations, strengthening access to vital resources.
Most importantly, residents, predominantly Black and Latino families living in a rapidly gentrifying area, have gained the tools, voice, and community power to shape the conditions that impact their health every day.
The Healthy Living Center is proof: when support is embedded where people live, health equity becomes possible.
