CDC's Healthy Communities Program maintained by the Division of Adult and Community Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
"In October 2003, as part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Steps to a HealthierUS initiative (Steps), the CDC began funding communities nationwide through 5-year cooperative agreements, with YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) as a national partner. Building on successes and lessons learned from Steps, CDC broadened its investment in communities through the creation of CDC's Healthy Communities Program in January 2009. To date, more than 300 communities nationwide have been selected by CDC to implement policy, systems, and environmental change (PSE) strategies. CDC's Healthy Communities Program works with these communities, as well as with state and local health departments and national partners, to help create a culture of healthy living while building national networks for sustainable change." - 6
