About Us

Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC) is committed to addressing health inequities and improving opportunities for a healthy, thriving Santa Ana. SABHC understands that health is directly shaped by the circumstances in which people are born, raised, live, and work. Improving these circumstances is a collective responsibility and one that must be led by those directly affected.

Workgroups

Health For All

At the root of the Health for All workgroup is education, access, equality, and coverage for the remaining uninsured, including undocumented immigrants.

Education For All

The Education Workgroup aims to build and create a movement that transforms minds, hearts, communities, and systems through Education. The prioritized system changes focus on ending the school to prison to deportation pipeline.

Equity For All

In the face of displacement, overcrowding, unemployment, homelessness, and a lack of economic power, parks, good food, and opportunities for meaningful participation, Equity for All works towards the “Right to Remain, Reclaim, and Thrive.”

Campaigns

Sanctuary City & Universal Representation

Allocate adequate funding for Universal Representation in the form of an immigration legal defense fund of $300,000, and continue to fully implement and expand the Santa Ana Sanctuary Law passed in 2017.

Health Care Access

ALL Californians should have access to health coverage, regardless of their immigration status.

Invest in Youth

Santa Ana youth are raising their voices and asking their city leaders to prioritize resources that help youth thrive and succeed.

District Elections

To promote a more democratic electoral system that does includes all communities that live and vote in Santa Ana. In Santa Ana, six council members reside in six different districts and are elected at-large—citywide— by voters. The mayor doesn’t have a district and is elected at-large as well. The move to district elections would mean voters could only vote for people running in their districts, although it’s still unclear how the mayor would be elected. City Council voted 6-0 on July 17th to place by-ward elections on the ballot in November for the voters to decide. The city is also hosting community meetings to share the City Ward Re-Boundary Process. You can find that presentation on our resources section under "Our Work". The last community presentation is September 15, 2018 at 10am. See events for full details.

Health 4 All Kids

#Health4All grew out of a stark realization that undocumented Californians are locked out of access to affordable, quality health care.

Tenant Rights

In the past the City has used federal dollars to enforce tenant rights and protect families from eviction. The City should consider reinvesting in eviction defense by holding Know-Your-Rights trainings or more directed legal defense assistance for tenants in eviction proceedings.

Community Lands in Community Hands

There are over 90 city-owned empty lots owned by the City that can be put to better use. Instead of selling-off this once-in-lifetime asset, the City should engage local residents in the decision and development process to produce public benefits for future generations.

Restorative Justice in Schools

The rates of expulsions have dropped because of the successful work of the Education for All workgroup and its involvement with the Santa Ana Unified School District School Climate Committee.
