The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) within the next couple of months related to healthy eating and active living. To see a PREVIOUS active living healthy eating RFP please click here.

Over the past few years, the Department of Public Health has funded several agencies, including city governments and non-profit organizations, to pursue community design strategies that improve the built environment in their respective cities. In the summer of 2008, each PLACE Initiative was awarded approximately $100,000 per year over a 3 year period to pursue a policy and physical project. Examples of policies include incorporating a Health and Wellness Element into a city's General Plan and for one city, creating its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
