Sun Valley Health Needs Assessment Overview—

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

VOICES MATTER Engagement and combining lived experience with health data is fundamental to the Healthy Living approach.

Residents, stakeholders, and community members shaped the Sun Valley HLI Needs Assessment through health indicators and areas of study to establish the priority health issues, and the effective strategies to address those issues through the Campaigns for Action.

The HLI combined lived experience, health indicator data, and place factors of the environment that all are determinants of health and wellness. Voices were heard in many ways: resident surveys and multi-lingual interviews in English, Spanish, Somali, and Vietnamese; public life intercept survey and observation; workshops, briefings, and meetings.

The HLI worked with the Sun Valley Community Advisory Committee (CAC), the Sun Valley Health Working Group, and created a specific Community Advisory Group for residents and stakeholders, and a Technical Advisory Group to participate in this effort to improve health and wellness.

resident surveys 319 households participated to establish baseline needs

outdoor gathering space surveys 4 spaces were studied in a “Public Life Survey” through observation and

and inform actions

154 intercept surveys to understand perceptions and experiences, and the community social cohesion

multi-lingual interviews 10 participants in the first ever cultural survey and video,

building survey 23 buildings surveyed with a Facade Activation study of walking

“Sun Valley Voices Matter”, to measure the perceptions, attitudes, experiences, and aspirations of residents

workshops, briefings, & meetings 8 held with resident, community, stakeholder, & technical Advisory Groups and Leadership in Action Team to shape and develop the Health Needs Assessment and this Healthy Living Action Plan

CAC briefings 3 briefings were given to the Community Advisory Committee to seek

feedback and participate in the HLI needs and strategies identification

conditions in Sun Valley to inform urban design priorities

mapping 21 factors were mapped to understand impacts on health and security, including crime data, sidewalk conditions, facade quality, crash data, land uses, healthy and unhealthy food access, park access, child opportunity, tree canopy, air quality, and health risks.

health indicators 49 indicators in the report card were gathered and ground truthed

by residents and stakeholders to assess needs, addressing Food, Youth & Education, Intentional Housing, Opportunity, Neighborhood Connections & Open Space, Health & Wellness, and Social Cohesion

SUN VALLEY TRANSFORMATION OPPORTUNITIES The Sun Valley Transformation Plan integrates the three Choice Neighborhood focus areas - People, Housing and Neighborhood - into a comprehensive revitalization strategy generated from the extensive community outreach done throughout the CNI process and previous efforts. The redevelopment of obsolete public housing into a mixed-income community through Choice Neighborhoods, led by the Denver Housing Authority (DHA) and Sun Valley EcoDistrict Trust (SVED), is a significant opportunity to improve health determinants, and quality of life for those who reside, work, and visit Sun Valley. Using the HLI Action Plan will help to focus on what’s important to resident health through responsive strategies.

The Sun Valley Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan manifests the priorities and desired outcomes of the many who participated throughout the Choice Neighborhood planning process. Participants included residents, community members, businesses, and stakeholders that are invested and driven towards the revitalization of the Sun Valley Neighborhood.

Since 2010, the neighborhood has been the focus of a number of planning and redevelopment efforts, providing a foundation for the Choice Neighborhood Initiative which paves a path for continued investment and physical revitalization over the next ten years and beyond.

The Transformation Plan focuses on youth, education, healthy food, jobs, district energy, intentional housing options, safety, among other key factors. The plan positions Sun Valley to become an authentic, inclusive, and responsible neighborhood-scale development that represents the current and future voices of the neighborhood.

WHY HEALTH AT SUN VALLEY? There are a range of root causes, or determinants and factors, that lead to long-term health outcomes. In Sun Valley, the average life expectancy is nearly 10 years less than other neighborhoods in Denver.

This Initiative focuses action around health determinants in the built environment and areas that DHA can influence, that have been proven to increase healthy choices. Research shows that between 40-60% of what determines our length and quality of life relate to our physical, social, and economic environment and behaviors.

The Sun Valley Health Initiative (HLI) puts public health research and data to work, side by side with resident experience, to drive decisions in the Sun Valley EcoDistrict (SVED) redevelopment process and improve opportunities for healthy living.

KEY TERMS Determinants are conditions that affect the health status of a community, and help make people healthy.

Health Outcomes include the health status of a community or an individual, encompassing physical, mental and social well-being. This report focuses on physical environment and social environment factors.

Indicators are known facts about what helps make people healthy, used to measure success related to objectives.

Strategies include programs, projects, or policies that will likely positively impact health determinants and can contribute to improved resident health.

Campaigns are action plans with a specific mission and effective strategies to guide what kind of development is accomplished.

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES EDUCATION + OPPORTUNITY KEY POINTS

In 2015, 48% of sun valley adults had graduated from high school, and 34.4% were unemployed

Among those who have graduated in the last year, only 38% graduated on time

38% of parent respondents who have children between the ages of 0 and 4 reported that their child participated in an early learning program

Denver and Colorado are experiencing an economic boom and employment opportunities exist for those with the right skills and education. In 2015, 48.5% of Sun Valley adults had graduated from high school and 34.4% were unemployed. Most of the reported barriers to employment were related to poor health and lack of childcare; one in four was associated with a lack of training or experience and one in ten was related to transportation. According to the 2017 resident survey, a significant proportion of adults who had been unemployed for 6 months or more were still actively searching for a job. This is an area of great opportunity to improve the lives of Sun Valley adults and their families by providing supports and connecting residents to training opportunities that are relevant to Denver’s current economy. Youth in Sun Valley are also experiencing gaps, many of which are likely the result of limited parental capacity and knowledge and lack of opportunities close to Sun Valley. According to the 2017 resident survey, 38% of parent respondents who have children between the ages of 0 and 4 reported that their child participated in any early learning program. The same proportion of children 6 and older participated in after-school activities. Evidence has shown that participation in these types of programs promotes better performance in school and reduced likelihood of risky behaviors as a teen. Among those who have graduated in the last year, only 38% graduated on time.

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES ACTIVE LIFESTYLE KEY POINTS

The percentage children ages 2 to 5 with unhealthy weight is currently at 22%, and may be decreasing.

13

Among 6 to 11 year old children, the proportion at an unhealthy weight remains steady at 29%

Overall, obesity among Denver adults has been rising but among children, the outlook is brighter.

Data from Denver Public Schools indicate that the percentage of unhealthy weight among Denver children who attend public schools ages 2 to 5, currently at 22%, may be decreasing. However, among 6 to 11 year old children, the proportion at an unhealthy weight remains steady at 29%.

Hispanic children are especially at risk. The evidence base shows that changes in weight are easier to affect among younger people than older.

Nonetheless, adults, as role models, can improve their own behaviors and health while setting an important example for the children in their lives.

While regular exercise is important for many aspects of health, evidence shows that diet has the biggest impact on weight loss and control.

Specifically, reduction or elimination of sugary beverages is most effective in preventing and reducing unhealthy weight, especially among youth. While estimates of the proportion of Denver residents, adult and child, who drink one or more sugary beverages every day has been decreasing, there is room for improvement. Although increased consumption of daily fruits and vegetables is important for a healthy weight and has been identified as important among residents, these changes should be accompanied by decreased consumption of unhealthy foods and regular exercise.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES HEALTHY MIND KEY POINTS

Behavioral health is as important as physical health.

14

In Sun Valley, most (86.5%) residents live in poverty.

18.2% of adults experienced struggles with emotional and mental health problems in the past year.

Behavioral health is as important as physical health. Both contribute to overall health and happiness however, optimal mental health is challenging due to a lack of education, stigma, reluctance to seek care and limited availability of services. In Sun Valley, most (86.5%) residents live in poverty a significant stressor that likely contributes to increased stress and behavioral health issues. Results from the 2017 resident survey indicate that 18.2% of adults experienced struggles with emotional and mental health problems in the past year. However, momentum is building around addressing behavioral health in communities.

Colorado is currently participating in the State Innovation Model which seeks to integrate primary and behavioral health services in the clinical setting for both adults and children. In addition, Denver

Public Schools has focused on the social and emotional health of their students using the Whole Child framework and has been awarded funds to advance this objective. Thus, this may be an opportune time for Sun Valley to focus on mental health, determine stressors and link residents to services.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES HEALTH CARE KEY POINTS

Only 49% of Adults and 68% of children report having had a preventative care visit.

15

Community health navigators in Sun Valley have the opportunity to educate residents and connect them to care.

Most residents in Sun Valley have health insurance and many have been seen by a doctor in the past year. However, according to the resident survey conducted in 2017, only 49% of adults and 68% of children report having had a preventative care visit. Under the Affordable Care Act, these low or no cost visits are important for children to assure proper vaccinations, normal development and health education. They are important for adults for early detection and control of disease, weight management and counseling on other modifiable health behaviors. In Denver neighborhoods, life expectancy ranges from 70 to 84 years old; Sun Valley is estimated at 75. Compared to adults in Denver, Sun Valley adults are more likely to suffer from diabetes and high cholesterol. At least one quarter is obese and one in three smokes

cigarettes. Preventative care helps to prevent and control disease and helps people live longer while saving health care dollars. Community health navigators in Sun Valley have the opportunity to educate residents and connect them to care.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES SAFETY & SECURITY KEY POINTS

At 143 crimes per 1,000 residents in Sun Valley, rates of overall crime are about three times higher than those of Denver (44 per 1,000 residents).

16

While 76% of residents feel safe walking in their neighborhood, only 39% of parents allow their children to play outside alone.

Residents are concerned about crime in Sun Valley for good reason. At 143 crimes per 1,000 residents in Sun Valley, rates of overall crime are about three times higher than those of Denver (44 per 1,000 residents). In addition, data from the Denver Police Department indicate that violent crime (homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) comprise a greater percentage of total crime in Sun Valley compared to Denver. However, it is not known if this elevated rate is partially the result of greater surveillance in Sun Valley compared to other parts of Denver. Residents are concerned about crime in their neighborhood but some also fear police presence. While 76% of residents feel safe walking in their neighborhood, only 39% of parents allow their children to play outside alone.

Improved public space, housing design, street

design, and better lighting can improve conditions through Crime Prevention through Environmental Design strategies, Sun Valley will be able to reduce concerns about and dangers of crime and traffic with a focus on infrastructure design for people walking, biking, and driving; and seeking ways to maintain and improve social cohesion can also alleviate crime.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES SOCIAL COHESION KEY POINTS

79.2% of all responders recognized or knew at least on person in their respective public space.

An intentionally designed built environment can strengthen social cohesion

Sun valley already exhibits strong social cohesion that should be protected and built upon during the redevelopment process

Social cohesion reduces mortality rates, increases positive health outcomes, and improves community resilience. Social cohesion is defined as engagement, inclusion, and shared values in a community. In simple terms, its about knowing your neighbors. Strong social cohesion also directly fosters greater community resilience in the face of shocks or stressors. Recent studies have shown that loneliness and social isolation may present a greater health hazard than obesity-related problems.

These factors have a particularly strong impact on the health outcomes of older individuals.

Recent community surveys show that social cohesion is currently strong in the Sun Valley community. For instance, 79.2% of all responders recognized or knew at least on person in their respective public space. Preserving this existing sense of belonging and familiarity while the neighborhood changes can have a positive impact on many other health priorities.

The built environment can play significant role in fostering social connectivity. Sidewalks, public space, stores, restaurants, and community spaces that bring people in contact with neighbors have been shown to significantly increase resilience.

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES FOR ACTION The Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative baseline health assessment framework includes seven determinant categories including Food, Intentional Housing, Social Cohesion, Health & Wellness, Youth & Education, Opportunity, and Open Space. The final step in the baseline assessment was to establish six priority health issues for action, shown here.

EDUCATION & OPPORTUNITY

Income is one of the strongest & most consistent predictors of health & disease in the public health research literature. Currently, the average household in SVH earns only 16.5% of the Denver living wage. The lives of Sun Valley adults & youth can be improved by connecting residents to training opportunities that are relevant to Denver’s current economy.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

12% of households have a member who has suffered from diabetes in the last 12 months. A healthy body weight & physical fitness can reduce heart disease, hypertension & diabetes which leads to improved life expectancy & quality of life.

HEALTHY MIND

18.2% of adults at Sun Valley reported experiencing struggles with emotional & mental health. Statewide efforts are underway to link primary & behavior health services in the clinical setting.

HEALTH CARE

83% of household with children & 61% of all residents have had a preventative care visit in the last year. Preventative care visits are important for children to assure proper vaccinations, normal development & health education. They are important for adults for early detection & control of disease, weight management & counseling on other modifiable health behaviors.

SAFETY & SECURITY

The crime rate in Sun Valley is 143 per 100 residents, compared to 44 per 100 residents in the city as a whole. Safety was identified as a primary concern by Sun Valley residents. Neighborhood safety can have a significant impact on stress, mental health, physical activity, school attendance & social cohesion.

SOCIAL COHESION

Recent community surveys show that social cohesion is currently strong in the Sun Valley community. Preserving this existing sense of belonging & familiarity while the neighborhood changes can have a positive impact on all other health priorities. Social cohesion reduces mortality rates, increases health outcomes, & improves community resilience.

ENGAGEMENT, INCLUSION, SHARED VALUES

PRIORITIES TO CAMPAIGNS Based on the Sun Valley priority health issues, we created four Campaigns for Action. These campaigns include “bundles” of strategies organized around a theme for the Denver Housing Authority, Sun Valley EcoDistrict Trust, organizations, residents, and agencies to take action. The strategies were chosen because they are proven to improve multiple health determinants, or upstream factors that influence length & quality of life.

KEY URBAN STRATEGIES: On an urban scale, healthy and active strategies address environmental health issues which can negatively impact residents of Sun Valley and degrade the environment. Increasing the urban tree canopy both reduces urban heat islands and filters pollutants from the air. This has been shown to reduce asthma rates, which are significantly higher in Sun Valley than the metropolitan region as a whole. A district wide active transportation plan can establish walking and biking as a safe, viable and pleasant means of accessing neighborhood resources. These strategies can help residents integrate exercise into their daily routine, which has numerous health benefits.

INTRO: Support from citywide initiatives such as Denver

Vision Zero, WalkDenver and Bike Denver can reinforce active design strategies that promote greater neighborhood connectivity and improve resident health. Increasing the urban canopy cover reinforces these efforts through creating more pleasant pedestrian passages, filtering air pollutants, reducing heat island effect.

RESOURCES: Numerous local and national organizations

exist to promote healthy environments; Denver Vision Zero provides information on local investments in pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure. Home Free and the Healthy Affordable Materials Project provide information on what materials to avoid to minimize resident exposure to toxicants. SITES, LEED and Green Enterprise Communities all provide credits towards certification for projects which incorporate many of the strategies described below.

THEORY OF CHANGE

Behavioral and emotional health struggles and exposure to trauma increase the risk for certain diseases and poor health. Living environments, access to nature, programs, and community support can address these struggles and improve health and education outcomes. Preventative health care is important for early detection and control of chronic conditions, and can help reduce lifetime health expenses.

KEY STRATEGIES: On an urban scale, green spaces play an important role in allowing residents to gather or simply sit and enjoy nature in a quiet and contemplative space. These common areas can also be programmed with activities which give residents opportunities to mix and partake in meaningful activities together, making them more likely to develop a sense of trust and connection. In addition, facilitating access to mental health programs is important in helping residents cope with trauma or stress.

Intimate community gardens and quiet, sheltered courtyards within each block or building allow residents to control their exposure to others. This has been shown to assist people in building positive social connections. Each block should provide public spaces for social mixing as well as refuges where individuals can withdraw from the main flow of activity and interact with nature at a more quiet, contemplative pace.

INTRO: Increasing access to green spaces, either for the

purpose of private contemplation or social interaction, have measurable, positive impacts on well being. In addition, programming will play an important role in allowing residents of different ages and background to connect and build social cohesion, and can also provide mental health support for youth and adults.

RESOURCES: Happy City uses lessons from psychology and

public health to inform design recommendations which will reduce social isolation and stress. LEED, SITES, and the Green Enterprise Community Criteria all reward projects that provide connections to nature, which has been shown to reduce stress.

The Toronto Growing Up Guidelines present a strong precedent for urban design that prioritizes lifelong communities and children’s health.

INCREASE SECURITY AND SAFETY, SUPPORT COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND SOCIAL MIXING, CELEBRATE CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND IDENTITY. ENCOURAGE EVERYDAY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AND RECREATION. REDUCE CHRONIC STRESSORS OF NOISE AND HEAT.

SAFETY CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON HEALTH FACTORS, STRESS, MENTAL HEALTH, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. SOCIAL COHESION REDUCES MORBIDITY, INCREASES COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, AND CAN INCREASE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT AND FITNESS CAN REDUCE HEART DISEASE, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, AND STRESS—SOME OF THE MOST COSTLY AND MOST PREVENTABLE HEALTH ISSUES.

MANY PEOPLE LACK EVERYDAY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DUE TO LACK OF TIME, MOTIVATION, AND SAFETY CONCERNS. 79% RECOGNIZE PEOPLE IN PUBLIC SPACES, HOWEVER 75% FEEL NO BUILDINGS OR SPACES REFLECT THEIR CULTURE. THIS INDICATES THERE IS STRONG SOCIAL COHESION TODAY WHICH SHOULD BE SUPPORTED THROUGH REDEVELOPMENT. UPPER RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS ARE THE TOP ER DIAGNOSIS FOR CHILDREN AND SECOND FOR ADULTS. THE AREA CURRENTLY HAS A 3% TREE CANOPY COVER, MUCH LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE FOR DENVER, AND A 93%ILE CANCER RISK DUE TO AIR POLLUTION.

SUPPORT MENTAL RESTORATION AND REDUCE STRESS. CONNECT WITH NATURE AND PROVIDE TRAUMA-SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS.

BEHAVIORAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH STRUGGLES AND EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA CAN INCREASE RISK FOR CERTAIN DISEASES AND POOR HEALTH. LIVING ENVIRONMENT, ACCESS TO NATURE, PROGRAMS, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT CAN IMPROVE HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES.

18% ADULTS REPORT EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES. THE SECOND HIGHEST EMERGENCY ROOM DIAGNOSIS FOR YOUTH BETWEEN 2016-2017 WAS SUICIDAL IDEATIONS. THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A NATIONAL INCREASE IN LONELINESS AND MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES. STATE WIDE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO LINK PRIMARY CARE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.

SUN VALLEY HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE

Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative HEALTHY DESIGN GUIDELINES The Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative (HLI) focuses action around health determinants in the built environment and areas that the Denver Housing Authority can influence that have been proven to increase healthy choices.

The (HLI) puts public health research and data to work, side by side with resident experience, to drive decisions in the Sun Valley EcoDistrict (SVED) redevelopment process and improve opportunities for healthy living. A Baseline Needs Assessment report and a Healthy Living Action Campaigns document precede and inform these Design Guidelines, which focus on specific built environment strategies for new development in the EcoDistrict.

Design Guidelines are categorized into four main areas: Public & Open Space, Site, Street, and Building, and intend to act as a health-focused supplement to overall Sun Valley EcoDistrict design guidelines.

Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative Evaluation Guide—

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

EVALUATION GUIDE HIGHLIGHTS This evaluation guide is to assist the Denver Housing Authority and their partners with monitoring and evaluation of health and wellness in Sun Valley throughout redevelopment and onward. Evaluation is an important, yet often underfunded, step, to track progress and inform ongoing development, design, and programming decisions. Evaluation data may also be of interest to stakeholders and other practitioners who have an interest in the connection between design, community development, programs, and health.

The evaluation metrics were vetted with the Technical Advisory Team, the Community Advisory Committee Health Working Group, and developed with these goals and criteria in mind: • Focused on the Grow Healthy Priorities, several indicators for each • Evaluation time frame is typically 2 year cycles to collect trend data for long term health outcomes • Ease of data gathering • Can be impacted through design and/or programming • Anticipate progress / change

In addition to recommended evaluation metrics or indicators, this guide also includes a number of tools and resources for the evaluation team.

Perceived discrimination has significant negative effect on both physical and mental health including higher rates of hypertension and breast cancer, depression, anxiety, and higher risk for obesity, high blood pressure, and substance abuse. It produces significantly heightened stress responses, and is linked to participation in non-healthy and non-participation in healthy behaviors. Pascoe, E. A., & Smart Richman, L. 2009.

MONITORING & EVALUATION GUIDANCE Evaluation is an important piece of the Healthy Living Initiative to track progress, understand effectiveness of projects and programs, and identify persistent and / or emerging health issues. DHA has committed to evaluation throughout the construction and redevelopment process and beyond. Information gained from evaluation may be used by DHA and partners to inform programs and projects; and will be shared with the residents and community on an annual basis. The key indicators in the HLI Report Card include primary data, data partnerships, and secondary data.

HLI ESSENTIAL INDICATORS As part of DHA’s institutional commitment to the Healthy Living Initiative, health indicators can be tracked across multiple communities or properties to assess performance and opportunities for improvement. After completing a crosswalk to identify synergies between the Mariposa HLI and Sun Valley HLI, several indicators have been identified as Essential that should be monitored across DHA communities to streamline efforts. These are highlighted on the Monitoring & Evaluation Report Card.

PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION Resident Survey - Annual survey to track wellbeing of resident households that is conducted in person; a source for 7 of the key indicators in the Evaluation Report Card.

As each phase of development and new buildings are opened, an initial survey of residents should be conducted to establish a baseline for future evaluation purposes and to help identify previously unknown needs that could be addressed through Campaigns. Key factors to meaningful data tracking are to maintain a unique identifier per household to enable longitudinal data collection; and to include essential questions highlighted on the survey in the appendix. In the future, consider conducting surveys with a translator and validating survey questions. If possible, the surveys should be coordinated with other points of contact with residents, such as annual inspections, other surveys (such as post occupancy evaluation or energy behaviors), or community health ambassador visits. Resident Survey data is self-reported, and representativeness is contingent upon response rate.

Public Life Survey - The current Sun Valley community exhibits strong social cohesion based on several measures, and there is documented community concern about displacement through redevelopment. This tool measures

social mixing and inclusivity within public spaces, including observational data as well as intercept interviews, and will provide important insights through the course of redevelopment. It uses Gehl Institute’s Public Life Toolkit Method; see appendix for survey forms and methodology.

A web-based survey app is under development and may be available later in 2019. The baseline Public Life Survey was conducted in the South Platte Riverfront Playground, front/ back yards of Sun Valley Homes, Rude Recreation Center, and the RTD platform in 2017. Ongoing surveys should be conducted in existing and new public open spaces.

DATA PARTNERSHIPS Denver Public Health: CHORDS data and data analysis.

DPH was an important collaborator in the Sun Valley Baseline Health Needs Assessment, serving as a technical advisor, gathering data, and performing analysis on several indicators. DPH was able to request CHORDS data to gain a better understanding of priority health needs and top emergency diagnoses. DPH also conducted an equity analysis of several health indicators by disaggregating data by race, age, and immigration status; and identifying any inequities of statistical significance. Moving forward, DPH should be viewed as an important partner and potential resource for ongoing evaluation.

EPA: Air Quality Monitoring. In early 2019, DHA launched an Air Quality Monitoring partnership with EPA and Aeroqual including the installation of two on-site monitors for particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. EPA will assist with gathering outdoor and indoor air quality data to monitor particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and ozone. Data can be used to study the temporary impacts of construction, the long term impacts of redevelopment compared to the baseline (including additional tree canopy, street grid and congestion reduction), and to identify areas of concern and/or seasons / months of concern. Data could be used for public health messaging to advise on outdoor activity levels for various populations. Indoor air quality monitoring is also recommended as an important measure of toxicant exposure, although not regulated by the EPA. National 24 hour Ambient Air Quality Standards (40 CFR Part 50), could help to set goals such as: Carbon monoxide < 9 ppm. PM₂.₅ < 15 μg/m³. PM₁₀ < 50 μg/m³. Ozone < 51 ppb.

Alternatively, or in addition for indoor spaces, WHO’s Air Quality Guidelines for Particulate Matter, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Sulfur Dioxide and TVOC <500 μg/m³ could be used.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE ACTION PLAN / JANUARY 2019

SECONDARY DATA SOURCES The HLI draws from a variety of data sources. Spatial data sources vary in geographic scope, and data can also vary in quality depending on collection methods, level of accuracy, and other factors. Therefore, various indicators cannot always be used in direct comparison. Statistics from sample surveys are always subject to sampling and non-sampling error. Where spatial data has been used, it was collected at the lowest geography possible. The Sun Valley statistical area (08031000800) is referenced in many of the data used for indicators. This statistical area is a City of Denver planning area, also utilized by the Piton Foundation; or Census Tract 8. Secondary Data Collection should be accessed on an annual basis; refer to the report card for data sources and to confirm frequency of monitoring.

The 500 Cities project is a joint venture between the Centers for Disease Control and the Robert Wood Johnson.

For the 500 largest cities in the US, the project provides small area estimates of 28 unhealthy behaviors, prevention behaviors and health outcomes at the census tract and city levels for 2015. Estimates are modelled using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance survey data and are best suited for needs assessments and planning public health interventions.

The Colorado Health Observation Regional Data Service (CHORDS) is a regional, collaborative registry of health data which collects, standardizes, de-identifies and returns estimates of a wide range of population health indicators including tobacco use, hypertension control and body mass index (BMI). Data are available from 2015 forward, include both adults and children and currently covers 50% of the Denver population. Data can be used for needs assessments, planning public health interventions, monitoring progress and measuring outcomes.

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is the nation’s largest continuously conducted health-related telephone surveys at the state level for adults about risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. CDPHE’s Community Level Estimates are output from statistical models incorporating individual Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey responses in addition to socio-demographic and contextual information from the U.S. Census (American Community Survey) to model the probability of having a health condition or risk behavior at the census tract geography.

American Community Survey (ACS) was used when complete census data was not available for an indicator.

In several cases, ACS data projections were used in lieu of actual data summaries. ACS data are typically estimates.

For % of adults 25+ with less than a high school education, the Piton Foundation gathered data from the ACS 2011-2015, 5-Year Estimates Table B15002.

The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) is aligned with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) that has been conducted on a two-year cycle since 1991. Professional researchers randomly select students, schools and classrooms to represent students in grades 6-12, or middle and high school.

The data is county level only.

Crime Rate Data is collected by Denver Police Department which is good quality, and the 5 year ACS (2011-2015) population estimates are used to calculate rates. Traffic crash data is collected by the City of Denver and provided on the Vision Zero Dashboard at https://www.denvergov.org/ content/denvergov/en/vision-zero/reports.html.

CONSENT AND COMMUNICATION DHA should review privacy issuces to determine whether an informed consent process is needed, related to sharing information, and work with partners to assess whether Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is necessary, if biological measures are being collected.

A data management system is critical to successfully learn from and use the data. DHA should consider how data management might integrate with existing reporting mechanisms within its various departments. Alternately, DHA could work with a third party to manage the data on an ongoing basis. DHA should aim to have a data management system in place by the end of 2019, that can be accessible to HLI leads and DHA decision-makers.

The HLI leads should coordinate with DHA leadership, and report to the DHA Board and Local Resident Councils (LRC) on a biannual or annual basis. Annually, the progress should also be reported broadly to residents, neighborhood, and visitors to the community - online, on a community kiosk, through art in public gathering spaces. The Healthy Living Initiative information should be available to residents and others through a potential Community Health Navigator, by hard copy, as well as electronically.

WHY HEALTH AT SUN VALLEY? There are a range of root causes, or determinants and factors, that lead to long-term health outcomes. In Sun Valley, the average life expectancy is nearly 10 years less than other neighborhoods in Denver.

This Initiative focuses action around health determinants in the built environment and areas that DHA can influence, that have been proven to increase healthy choices. Research shows that between 40-60% of what determines our length and quality of life relate to our physical, social, and economic environment and behaviors.

The Sun Valley Health Initiative (HLI) puts public health research and data to work, side by side with resident experience, to drive decisions in the Sun Valley EcoDistrict (SVED) redevelopment process and improve opportunities for healthy living.

KEY TERMS Determinants are conditions that affect the health status of a community, and help make people healthy.

Health Outcomes include the health status of a community or an individual, encompassing physical, mental and social well-being. This report focuses on physical environment and social environment factors.

Indicators are known facts about what helps make people healthy, used to measure success related to objectives.

Strategies include programs, projects, or policies that will likely positively impact health determinants and can contribute to improved resident health.

Campaigns are action plans with a specific mission and effective strategies to guide what kind of development is accomplished.

SUN VALLEY / HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT / MAY 29, 2018

SUN VALLEY HEALTH ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK The Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative (HLI) began by considering the health determinates found in the existing master plan’s “Grow” Priority Areas: Food; Youth + education; Intentional housing; Opportunity; Connections + Open Spaces; and Sustainable Infrastructure.

HEALTH + WELLNESS

The Sun Valley HLI built on DHA’s robust engagement effort that included focus groups of residents, and community and business leaders, whose voices helped establish HLI priority areas.

The team worked with these stakeholder groups to identify preliminary metrics, including health indicators and potential targets for consideration and further study.

The HLI team analyzed 2017 resident surveys and census level data such as the Colorado Health Observation Regional Data Services (CHORDS) to identify and confirm health priorities for the neighborhood.

The final health assessment framework includes seven determinant categories, shown at right. For full health data report card, see the Health Data section.

The final step in the baseline assessment was to establish six priority health issues for action, shown on page 6.

Income is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and disease in the public health research literature.1 Currently, the average household in SVH earns only 16.5% of the Denver living wage. The Lives of Sun Valley adults and youth can be improved by connecting residents to training opportunities that are relevant to Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current economy.

12% of households have a member who has suffered from diabetes in the last 12 months. A healthy body weight and physical fitness can reduce heart disease, hypertension and diabetes which leads to improved life expectancy and quality of life.

18.2% of adults at Sun Valley reported experiencing struggles with emotional and mental health.

State-wide efforts are underway to link primary and behavior health services in the clinical setting.

83% of household with children and 61% of all residents have had a preventative care visit in the last year. Preventative care visits are important for children to assure proper vaccinations, normal development and health education. They are important for adults for early detection and control of disease, weight management and counseling on other modifiable health behaviors.

The crime rate in Sun Valley is 143 per 100 residents, compared to 44 per 100 residents in the city as a whole. Safety was identified as a primary concern by Sun Valley residents. Neighborhood safety can have a significant impact on stress, mental health, physical activity, school attendance and social cohesion. 2 Recent community surveys show that social cohesion is currently strong in the Sun Valley community. Preserving this existing sense of belonging and familiarity while the neighborhood changes can have a positive impact on all other health priorities. Social cohesion reduces mortality rates, increases health outcomes, and improves community resilience. 2

SUN VALLEY TODAY The Sun Valley neighborhood is over 380 acres in size, with close to 45 acres controlled by DHA and the remaining land being owned by the City and County of Denver, the Metropolitan Football Stadium District, local businesses, and a small portion independently owned as single-family residences. The Federal Decatur RTD stations, the 2nd and 3rd busiest on the light rail line with over 1,500 daily boardings, provide access to Sun Valley, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, and West Colfax. Sun Valley is defined by the South Platte River to the east, Federal Boulevard to the west, and 6th Avenue to the south.

A major portion of the study area is defined

by DHA’s Sun Valley Homes public housing development located on over 30 acres of land. Built in the 1950’s, this existing public housing stock is in severe physical distress, is an inefficient use of public land, and lacks most urban services.

The neighborhood is home to about 1450 residents, 50% of which are under the age of 18. A large majority (70%) of residents in Sun Valley live under the poverty level. The Sun Valley life expectancy is approximately 10 years shorter than other neighborhoods in Denver and the crime rate is 3x the average citywide.

MASTER PLAN FOCUS AREA

7

CURRENT SUN VALLEY ECODISTRICT MASTER PLAN

The Sun Valley Transformation Plan integrates the three Choice Neighborhood focus areas - People, Housing and Neighborhood - into a comprehensive revitalization strategy generated from the extensive community outreach done throughout the CNI process and previous efforts. The redevelopment of obsolete public housing into a mixed-income community through Choice Neighborhoods, led by the Denver Housing Authority (DHA) and Sun Valley EcoDistrict Trust (SVED), is a significant opportunity to improve health determinants, and quality of life for those who reside, work, and visit Sun Valley. Using the HLI and Health Needs Assessment will help to focus on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to resident health and establish responsive strategies.

The Transformation Plan focuses on youth, education, healthy food, jobs, district energy, intentional housing options, safety, among other key factors. The plan positions Sun Valley to become an authentic, inclusive, and responsible neighborhood-scale development that represents the current and future voices of the neighborhood.

RESIDENT SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS The Sun Valley Homes Resident

Survey was conducted by DHA to inform the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Program and Needs Assessment. In 2017, 319 out of 420 adult residents completed the 73 question survey, which provided a robust base of primary data for the HLI. The survey focus areas included 20 health related questions and 17 community/quality of life questions. Other questionnaire categories addressed demographics, education, and employment.

SUN VALLEY VOICES MATTER The Sun Valley HLI Multilingual

“Cultural Survey” was conducted on-site in December 2017 / January 2018 and captured in a short video and a report. The intent of the survey is to identify the perceptions, attitudes, experiences, and aspirations of the Sun Valley Homes community and to ground truth and fill gaps in the quantitative data.

The survey and video ultimately reveal that Sun Valley already has strong social cohesion that should be maintained and built upon during the redevelopment.

COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE / VOICES MATTER HIGHLIGHTS A healthy community is..."Where you can visit your neighbors and the kids can have fun. You can sit on your front porch in the middle of the night and look at the stars without any fear."

What does Home mean to you?

“It is a place to lay your head, think, love and share a lot.”

“A place where you can rest and be comfortable and be safe.”

12

What is the biggest barrier for you to having great health?

“So, if I live in a place that is too noisy, it gives me stress and effects my wellbeing.”

Overall, do you feel included or excluded from the Sun Valley neighborhood? Can you share an experience where you felt this way?

“Included. Well, our neighbor just had a baby and she is so cute. She brought me a cup of tea. We had a really nice conversation. [ ]There was nothing uncomfortable. All the people were very inviting and very nice.”

What do you think makes Sun Valley Neighborhood special? Why is it important to preserve that during a community transformation?

“The different races. You can live with different races so you can’t be prejudice and you can better yourself and better your kids.”

“It’s people...[ ]neighbors being neighbors. If you are busy doing dishes and something happened to a kid, someone will know whose kid is it and we are basically looking after each other.”

COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE

In January 2018, the HLI team conducted a multilingual cultural survey. The overall goal of the survey is to measure the perceptions, attitudes, experiences and aspirations of the Sun Valley neighborhood residents and community members.

The data will be used to better understand perceptions regarding the Sun Valley Neighborhood Redevelopment Project and to inform the HLI from the perspective of the community. Both qualitative and quantitative research techniques were employed to fulfill the study objectives. A snapshot of initial impressions and highlights can be found on this page and in the Appendix.

Health Data— HEALTH REPORT CARD The HLI established seven “Grow Healthy” study

areas as the data framework for the HLI. The categories of Food, Youth & Education, Intentional Housing, Opportunity, and Neighborhood Connections and Open Space continue to expand the health opportunities highlighted in the original master plan priority areas. Health & Wellness ,and Social Cohesion are new focus areas that were created to address patterns found in the resident survey, secondary data analysis, and the Public Life survey. Secondary data came from public sources such as Piton Foundation, CHORDS, CO Hospital Association, US Census and American Community Survey, and 500 Cities.

EQUITY ANALYSIS was completed to identify any disparities between

population segments. Resident survey data was disaggregated by racial/ethnic groups, age groups, and immigrant status to understand and address health inequities as part of the HLI.

Place Matters— HEALTH IMPACT MAPPING Mithun developed health impact

maps that highlight existing health opportunities and constraints in Sun Valley. The team also mapped crime/traffic data and overlaid that information with streetscape and facade quality observations in order to inform urban design priorities.

PUBLIC LIFE SURVEY Consultant team member Rodolfo

Rodriguez worked with the Denver Housing Authority and resident “community connectors” to conduct a public life survey of Sun Valley.

The team conducted intercept interviews at four key public spaces in Sun Valley to better understand perceptions and experiences of those community spaces. The team also completed observational analysis of these spaces, mapping pedestrian volumes, locations, and duration of stay.

12% of households have a member who has suffered from diabetes in the last 12 months. A healthy body weight and physical fitness can reduce heart disease, hypertension and diabetes which leads to improved life expectancy and quality of life.

18.2% of adults at Sun Valley reported experiencing struggles with emotional and mental health.

State-wide efforts are underway to link primary and behavior health services in the clinical setting.

83% of household with children and 61% of all residents have had a preventative care visit in the last year. Preventative care visits are important for children to assure proper vaccinations, normal development and health education. They are important for adults for early detection and control of disease, weight management and counseling on other modifiable health behaviors.

The crime rate in Sun Valley is 143 per 100 residents, compared to 44 per 100 residents in the city as a whole. Safety was identified as a primary concern by Sun Valley residents. Neighborhood safety can have a significant impact on stress, mental health, physical activity, school attendance and social cohesion.2 Recent community surveys show that social cohesion is currently strong in the Sun Valley community. Preserving this existing sense of belonging and familiarity while the neighborhood changes can have a positive impact on all other health priorities. Social cohesion reduces mortality rates, increases health outcomes, and improves community resilience.2 1 Sorlie PD, Backlund E, Keller JB.

Income is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and disease in the public health research literature.1 Currently, the average household in SVH earns only 16.5% of the Denver living wage. The Lives of Sun Valley adults and youth can be improved by connecting residents to training opportunities that are relevant to Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current economy.

Denver and Colorado are experiencing an economic boom and employment opportunities exist for those with the right skills and education. In 2015, 48.5% of Sun Valley adults had graduated from high school and 34.4% were unemployed. Most of the reported barriers to employment were related to poor health and lack of childcare; one in four was associated with a lack of training or experience and one in ten was related to transportation. According to the 2017 resident survey, a significant proportion of adults who had been unemployed for 6 months or more were still actively searching for a job. This is an area of great opportunity to improve the lives of Sun Valley adults and their families by providing supports and connecting residents to training opportunities that are relevant to Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current economy. Youth in Sun Valley are also experiencing gaps, many of which are likely the result of limited parental capacity and knowledge and lack of opportunities close to Sun Valley. According to the 2017 resident survey, 38% of parent respondents who have children between the ages of 0 and 4 reported that their child participated in any early learning program. The same proportion of children 6 and older participated in after-school activities. Evidence has shown that participation in these types of programs promotes better performance in school and reduced likelihood of risky behaviors as a teen. Among those who have graduated in the last year, only 38% graduated on time.

The percentage children ages 2 to 5 with unhealthy weight is currently at 22%, and may be decreasing.

43 GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES

Among 6 to 11 year old children, the proportion at an unhealthy weight remains steady at 29%

Overall, obesity among Denver adults has been rising but among children, the outlook is brighter.

Data from Denver Public Schools indicate that the percentage of unhealthy weight among Denver children who attend public schools ages 2 to 5, currently at 22%, may be decreasing. However, among 6 to 11 year old children, the proportion at an unhealthy weight remains steady at 29%.

Hispanic children are especially at risk. The evidence base shows that changes in weight are easier to affect among younger people than older.

Nonetheless, adults, as role models, can improve their own behaviors and health while setting an important example for the children in their lives.

While regular exercise is important for many aspects of health, evidence shows that diet has the biggest impact on weight loss and control.

Specifically, reduction or elimination of sugary beverages is most effective in preventing and reducing unhealthy weight, especially among youth. While estimates of the proportion of Denver residents, adult and child, who drink one or more sugary beverages every day has been decreasing, there is room for improvement. Although increased consumption of daily fruits and vegetables is important for a healthy weight and has been identified as important among residents, these changes should be accompanied by decreased consumption of unhealthy foods and regular exercise.

18.2% of adults experienced struggles with emotional and mental health problems in the past year.

Behavioral health is as important as physical health. Both contribute to overall health and happiness however, optimal mental health is challenging due to a lack of education, stigma, reluctance to seek care and limited availability of services. In Sun Valley, most (86.5%) residents live in poverty a significant stressor that likely contributes to increased stress and behavioral health issues. Results from the 2017 resident survey indicate that 18.2% of adults experienced struggles with emotional and mental health problems in the past year. However, momentum is building around addressing behavioral health in communities.

Colorado is currently participating in the State Innovation Model which seeks to integrate primary and behavioral health services in the clinical setting for both adults and children. In addition, Denver

Public Schools has focused on the social and emotional health of their students using the Whole Child framework and has been awarded funds to advance this objective. Thus, this may be an opportune time for Sun Valley to focus on mental health, determine stressors and link residents to services.

Community health navigators in Sun Valley have the opportunity to educate residents and connect them to care.

Most residents in Sun Valley have health insurance and many have been seen by a doctor in the past year. However, according to the resident survey conducted in 2017, only 49% of adults and 68% of children report having had a preventative care visit. Under the Affordable Care Act, these low or no cost visits are important for children to assure proper vaccinations, normal development and health education. They are important for adults for early detection and control of disease, weight management and counseling on other modifiable health behaviors. In Denver neighborhoods, life expectancy ranges from 70 to 84 years old; Sun Valley is estimated at 75. Compared to adults in Denver, Sun Valley adults are more likely to suffer from diabetes and high cholesterol. At least one quarter is obese and one in three smokes

cigarettes. Preventative care helps to prevent and control disease and helps people live longer while saving health care dollars. Community health navigators in Sun Valley have the opportunity to educate residents and connect them to care.

While 76% of residents feel saFe walking in their neighborhood, only 39% of parents allow their children to play outside alone.

Residents are concerned about crime in Sun Valley for good reason. At 143 crimes per 1,000 residents in Sun Valley, rates of overall crime are about three times higher than those of Denver (44 per 1,000 residents). In addition, data from the Denver Police Department indicate that violent crime (homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) comprise a greater percentage of total crime in Sun Valley compared to Denver. However, it is not known if this elevated rate is partially the result of greater surveillance in Sun Valley compared to other parts of Denver. Residents are concerned about crime in their neighborhood but some also fear police presence. While 76% of residents feel safe walking in their neighborhood, only 39% of parents allow their children to play outside alone.

Improved public space, housing design, street

design, and better lighting can improve conditions through Crime Prevention through Environmental Design strategies, Sun Valley will be able to reduce concerns about and dangers of crime and traffic with a focus on infrastructure design for people walking, biking, and driving; and seeking ways to maintain and improve social cohesion can also alleviate crime.

GROW HEALTHY PRIORITIES SOCIAL COHESION KEY POINTS

An intentionally designed built environment can strengthen social cohesion

Sun valley already exhibits strong social cohesion that should be protected and built upon during the redevelopment process

Social cohesion reduces mortality rates, increases positive health outcomes, and improves community resilience. Social cohesion is defined as engagement, inclusion, and shared values in a community. In simple terms, its about knowing your neighbors. Strong social cohesion also directly fosters greater community resilience in the face of shocks or stressors. Recent studies have shown that loneliness and social isolation may present a greater health hazard than obesity-related problems.

These factors have a particularly strong impact on the health outcomes of older individuals.

Recent community surveys show that social cohesion is currently strong in the Sun Valley community. For instance, 79.2% of all responders recognized or knew at least on person in their respective public space. Preserving this existing sense of belonging and familiarity while the neighborhood changes can have a positive impact on many other health priorities.

The built environment can play significant role in fostering social connectivity. Sidewalks, public space, stores, restaurants, and community spaces that bring people in contact with neighbors have been shown to significantly increase resilience.

APPENDIX / METHODS & NOTES

The Healthy Living Initiative and Tool (HLI) is a comprehensive implementation and evaluation guide for practitioners to prioritize health into design, redevelopment, construction, and program decisions, drawing on health evidence and standards. Health is defined holistically, as an outcome of physical, social and environmental characteristics of a community.

The HLI is intended to promote cross-sector partnerships, to use a participatory approach that values resident and stakeholder experience, and to provide the best available evidence to decision-makers. The HLI focuses decisionmaking and action around health determinants, known as the Social Determinants of Health model (SDOH), which are known to improve opportunity for better health and wellbeing.

The Tool draws from the health impact assessment framework as described by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) and recent practice standards as well as the methodology described

by The Roadmaps to Health Action Center, which is geared towards community activism and engagement , and the Healthy Development Measurement Tool. Using the HLI and Tool, however, does not constitute completing a Health Impact Assessment.

The HLI Tool and process has five steps to inform redevelopment decisions. This process is designed to be rigorous and evidence-based, to ensure strategies are responsive to identified needs, and to be tuned to the pace and decision-making process inherent in redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization.

The five steps of the HLI process are: 1. Assess Needs 2. Focus on What’s Important 3. Choose Effective Strategies 4. Act on What’s Important 5. Evaluate Actions

ENGAGEMENT AND METHODS

The Healthy Living Tool draws from a variety of data sources to measure progress, identify priorities and make recommendations. The primary focus of this particular

•

In establishing a measurement and evaluation framework; there is an intentional approach to focus on the determinants of health (as opposed to health outcomes) to drive action and inform redevelopment and programming decisions. The Sun Valley framework is based on the DHA Healthy Living Tool created for Mariposa, and has evolved to incorporate Sun Valley Grow Principles, and additional Social Cohesion, Wellness / Behavior, and Health Care determinants.

SV HLI Multilingual “Cultural Survey”: conducted on site in December 2017 / January 2018 to identify perceptions, attitudes, experiences, and aspirations of Sun Valley Homes residents, professionals, and visitors; to ground truth and fill gaps within Quantitative Data and health indicators; to capture the perceptions of the SV Redevelopment; and to reveal factors that drive behaviors and attitudes tied to health and social outcomes.

•

Monitoring and Observational Surveys: Additional monitoring and surveys may be conducted to gain baseline information related to: air quality / temperature, noise, Public Space perceptions, Pedestrian Safety, and Healthy Food access.

HLI objectives are for the indicators to:

effort is on health outcomes of Sun Valley public housing residents who will be directly impacted by redevelopment.

DHA and SVED will take action on the HLI Campaigns for Health, which will immediately inform the design and construction process underway in the Sun Valley Choice Neighborhoods Transformation, and guide the programs, services, and amenities provided. The HLI will also establish a monitoring and evaluation plan to measure progress and make adjustments as needed over time to meet goals and ensure effective use of resources. A secondary goal of the evaluation is to add to the growing body of evidence related to large, complex redevelopment projects and test the theory of change. Where spatial data is used, it is collected at the lowest geography possible. In Sun Valley the neighborhood boundaries align with the Census Tract (8), which is helpful to data collection.

APPENDIX / METHODS & NOTES The 500 Cities project is a joint venture between the Centers for Disease Control and the Robert Wood Johnson. For the 500 largest cities in the US, the project provides small area estimates of 28 unhealthy behaviors, prevention behaviors and health outcomes at the census tract and city levels for 2015. Estimates are modelled using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance survey data and are best suited for needs assessments and planning public health interventions.

Highlights for Intercept Survey 20.5%

We found that a strong majority of respondents (71.7%) arrived to this area by foot, while only a few respondents arrived by private car (10.9%), bike (6.5%), or bus (6.5%). Though the survey did not ask respondents if they lived in the area, a good portion of respondents (30.4%) explicitly stated in the survey that they live within the dened public housing area.

While some respondents (37%) were simply walking by, half of the respondents spend spend one hour or more in the spaces throughout this space, while the others spend between 10 to 30 minutes, most likely because they are residents within the area. Research Assistants also noted that respondents that were meeting up with friends (15.2%) or hanging out (8.7%), consistently exited or entered a public housing residence. The assumption that most intercept survey respondents in this space were likely public housing residents is further supported by the annual income metric and educational attainment metric, nding that 95.6% of respondents make $29,999 or less and 82.6% completed high school or less - two indicators that strongly match public housing resident proles in Sun Valley neighborhood.

APPENDIX / SUN VALLEY VOICES MATTER METHODOLOGY CULTURAL HEALTH SURVEY STUDY

AUTHORED BY RODOLFO L. RODRIGUEZ

CULTURAL HEALTH SURVEY STUDY

68 APPENDIX

~

SUN VALLEY VOICES MATTER The Cultural Health Survey Study is a mixed-methods research assessment designed to understand the perceptions, attitudes, experiences and aspirations of end users from the Sun Valley Neighborhood, especially a culturally diverse group of Denver Housing Authority residents and service providers who serve this population. Data gathered will be used to identify and understand health inequities, perceptions, and experiences through the lens of a culturally diverse end users to ultimately inform the Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative and the Redevelopment Master Plan. Both qualitative and quantitative research techniques were employed to fulfill the study objectives. Qualitative research will identify factors that drive members of a culturally diverse community toward healthy behaviors, especially as it related to the social and built environment.

METHODOLOGY (4) All interviews occured back-to-back in thirty minute segments in one full weekday (Wednesday, January 10, 2017). (5) Interviews were recorded using digital audio technology and portraits of all participants were captured using digital photography. Consent forms were created, discussed, and signed at-will by all interview participants for the production of this report and other materials related to the Sun Valley Healthy Living Initiative and the Redevelopment Master Plan. (6) Interview questions were designed by Rodolfo L. Rodriguez and furtherdeveloped in collaboration with Mithun and Denver Housing Authority. (7) Interview questions were asked in an open-minded manner and participants were not forced into multiple choice responses (with exception of two questions which had follow-up, open-ended questions).

(1) The Cultural Health Survey Study is a Mithun service, performed exclusively by Rodolfo L.Rodriguez.

(2) Attended a Local Resident Council meeting in Sun Valley Neighborhood and recruited culturally diverse public housing residents to participate in an interview. This recruitment opportunity identified language barriers for five non-English speaking participants and addressed them by scheduling language translators (Vietnamese and Somali) to also attend interviews. (3) Ten one-to-one interviews were conducted with a culturally diverse subpopulation of the Sun Valley Neighborhood residents and one interview was conducted with a service provider who serves members of this community.

(1) “Homeless shelters. It was a snowball effect. We got behind on rent payments.

They were renovating. For some reason they were going to raise our rent to $1500 to $1600 a month which is a huge jump from $1000. Then there were other bills. Then we got evicted. Then, we stayed in a shelter. It was the first time that we stayed in a shelter. My son had hard time at the shelter.

There we received a voucher at Samaritan House. It was very fortunate.

We were picked, actually one of four families, to get housing.”

Favorite childhood memories for some participants were tied to labor of passion or a recreational activity, but for most participants the favorite memory was tied to family.

There were many qualities that participants used to describe “home,” but “sense of safety” and “family” were the top qualities used by most participants.

We found a range of perceptions regarding safety, from locks on doors, establishing mutual trust among residents, avoiding interaction with gangs, resident engagement to emergency responses.

Sun Valley is recognized as food desert. Some participants go to wholesale stores to shop for food, while most go to the grocery stores or markets closest to them. Almost 30% of participants reported to grocery shop at culturally-reflective markets.

Most participants own a car and use that as their primary means of transportation. Those who do not own a car, either walk or use the bus as their means of transportation.

A strong majority of participants (90%) do not recycle. Though there is no recycling system across DHA Sun Valley Homes, one participant collects soda cans and places them on the side of dumpster and one particpant would recycle if proper bins were in place. On-site observations were also noted of individuals collecting empty aluminum

We found a range of approaches that participants take to maintain good health. Some particpiants with health conditions (depression, diabetes or heart disease), primarily attend their routinely medical appointments,while one mentioned spiritual practice.

Most participants described “walking” and “healthy diet” as their primary approach.

Barriers identified from participants range due to personal circumstance and health conditions (depression, diabetes and heart disease). Though two participants reported to face no barriers to having great health,others mentioned barriers such as lack of access to food, low-paying wages, high noise levels as stressors, and lack of peer suppport.

Overall, a variety of definitions were mentioned regarding a vision of a “healthy community.”

From the physical and mental wellness of an individual, to trust among and support among neighbors. The top descriptor captures was “tight-knit relationships with neighbors.”

While some particpants reported to be involved in the planning process for the Sun Valley neighborhood redevelopment project, a majority of participants (60%) reported to not be involved. Participants attributed their lack of involvement to multiple things, including a communication barrier, a missing sense of empowerment to influence decision-making, or being too busy, just to name a few.

Most participants reported to have a great sense of pride and appreciation for their community. A top assset identified by participants is the existing makeup of residents. Within an ethnically diverse context, Sun Valley offers residents a strong sense of place and identity. A strong majority of participants highlighted the importance of preserving this special fabric of residents during and post-redevelopment process.

This section provides a range of suggestions of change for Sun Valley neighborhood. On a socialenvironmental level, participants suggested improvement of safety, noise-level reductions, and more resident engagement. On a built environmental level, participants suggested better housing, communitygathering spaces, and areas dedicated to exercise. Two participants suggested no changes, and one explitcitly suggested an opportunity “to stay” in Sun Valley neighborhood after the transfromation plans.

SUN VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD

OBJECTIVES This tool was designed by The Gehl Institute to help understand the public life of city streets. When the façade of buildings are interesting, people will often slow down and engage in other activities than simply walking by. An active façade offers visual stimulation, provides opportunities for strangers to meet and mix, and creates a reason to spend time on the street.

VIBRANT

ACTIVE

• Small units with many doors • High transparency • No vacant or passive units • Lots of character • Good articulation, materials, and details

• Relatively small units • Some transparency • Few passive units • Some articulation and detail

DULL

INACTIVE

• Large units with few doors • Low transparency • Some passive units • Few or no details

• Parking or vacant lot • Large units with few doors • Very little or no transparency • Many passive units • Uniform facades with no details or nothing to look at

METHODOLOGY Walked along streets of interest within Sun Valley Neighborhood and ranked façades according to a “scale of activation,” which is based on the qualities of the buildings themselves. Ranked the quality of each façade according to transparency of windows and doors, unit width, number of doors, articulation of the façade, and invitations for ‘spillover’ onto the sidewalk in the form of signage, seating, and other exterior furnishings.
