Living a healthy life depends on many things. Based on where you live, you might not have access to things that can help you live a healthy life.

Some areas do not have safe housing or transportation.
If you do not live near a healthy grocery store, it can be hard to eat well.
Some communities do not have safe places to exercise and play.
Some areas do not offer good schools (education) for children.
It might be hard to find a job or locate job training centers in certain areas. This could make it harder to be financially stable.
Some areas have unhealthy air and water.

*UPMC for You’s navigators can help members apply to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federal program that helps individuals and families with energy costs, and/or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a federal program that provides assistance to low-income individuals and families to purchase food. Submitting a LIHEAP or SNAP application does not guarantee enrollment in the programs. Program eligibility is determined by the PA Department of Human Services (DHS). UPMC for You can also help members connect to resources to find stable housing. UPMC for You does not pay for members’ grocery, utility, or housing bills.
