Core offering

Urban Health Partnerships is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that co-designs community-driven health, equity, food access, age-friendly, and Complete Streets initiatives with residents and partners across South Florida. Its core service is the Community Liaison Framework, in which compensated resident Community Liaisons bridge government agencies and under-resourced communities to drive policy, systems, and environmental changes, supported by the proprietary 8-Steps to Building a Successful Community Action Plan methodology and the Community Engagement Playbook.

Product overview

Urban Health Partnerships (UHP) is a nonprofit organization that offers a portfolio of community health programs and methodologies rather than a traditional software product. The core offerings include the Community Liaison Framework—a structured community-driven approach that compensates residents to bridge government and community stakeholders—and the 8-Steps to Building a Successful Community Action Plan methodology. Supporting these methodologies are AI-assisted tools including the Community Action Planning Dashboard and Outreach Navigator, which help organize data and track community engagement. UHP also provides the Community Engagement Playbook as a guide for government agencies. The organization focuses on initiatives including the Food & Nutrition for All Collaborative, Miami-Dade Age-Friendly Initiative, and Broward Complete Streets Initiative. There is no traditional product architecture with modules or add-ons—the offerings are distinct programs and tools designed for community health improvement.
