Together We Can: Pawtucket & Central Falls

Pawtucket and Central Falls residents are in control of how to improve health and well-being in our communities! Through this process, we will directly decide on how to spend $385,000 to improve the conditions that help us stay or become healthy. We will do this by sharing ideas, developing projects, and voting on what to fund. This process is called Participatory Budgeting. To learn more about Participatory Budgeting click here.

We know that there is a lot that goes into having healthy communities. Research tells us that healthy communities have adequate transportation; employment opportunities; clean, safe, and affordable housing; parks and open space; access to fresh, healthy food and clean water; a high-quality education system; and safe streets. These are known as Social Determinants of Health. To learn more click here.

This process is running with support from the Pawtucket Central Falls Health Equity Zone from September 2022 through June 2023.
