Health Happens Here recognizes that health depends on much more than doctors offices and aims to shift thinking and policy making toward the reality that health happens where we live, learn, work and play.
~~~Welcome to Solano Canyon, founded in 1866. The founding of the Solano Canyon community was when Francisco Solano, a native of Costa Rica, bought 86 acres of land in 1866 from the City of Los Angeles. Solano, a butcher, had a meat-packing business downtown, just north of the Plaza Church on Main Street. Within a few years, he built an adobe on the watercourse between present-day Solano Avenue and Casanova Street and moved both his family and his business to the Canyon. Solano and his wife, Rosa Casanova, also from Costa Rica, raised six children here. Much of the Solano property was subdivided after the deaths of Francisco and Rosa by their son, Los Angeles City and County Surveyor Alfredo Solano, and, from 1888 forward, the community grew rapidly. The original Solano property extended from present-day North Broadway nearly to the Police Academy, and from Elysian Park to Sulphur Ravine.

The Center for the Working Poor is an inter-faith intentional community based off of the Catholic Worker movement and New Monasticism, which is committed to strategic non-violent social change. These are our core principles and programs: 1) Strategic Nonviolence 2) Voluntary Simplicity and Intentional Community 3) Hospitality and Service for fired workers 4) The Burning Bush Newspaper and website 5) Community Building 6) Spirituality and Faith in Action. Some of our community members live and work as full-time volunteers at the Center, and other community members work in careers outside the Center. We all share a commitment to live in community, share a few meals a week, and a common vision of non-violent social change to benefit the most oppressed in our society. Volunteer members run the Center for the Working Poor, which is a non-profit that provides services for poor, and organizes protest and social movement activity. Our specialty is planning and organizing large protests, civil disobedience actions, hunger strikes, and other forms of strategic non-violence. We are a spiritual community which observes Christian contemplative practices; however, this is not a requirement for participation or membership at the Center. We have people of many faiths and beliefs in our community. Many of the families we serve have working parents who were fired after speaking up about poor working conditions. Many are illegally injured, blacklisted, and are denied unemployment and disability benefits because of the greed of corporations. We have a unique mission because we actually deliver food directly to people in their homes. We develop close relationships with the families, helping them find jobs, joining them at their kitchen tables to discuss their kids, their medical medical needs, and informing them about social services that can help them on the road to self-determination. We also keep them engaged as leaders in the movement to improve conditions in their workplaces and community.
