At the request of the developer, Actual Communities LLC, Safe and Healthy Communities conducted a rapid HIA of Waters’ Edge, a proposed development for residents 55 and older in Fort Collins, Colorado. The HIA focused on maximizing health benefits for the 900 homes, retail businesses, and services proposed for the community and on how residents can age in place. The HIA examined potential impacts of connectivity and mobility, access to services and amenities, safety, and physical activity on mental and social health.
