With the release of the HDMT in March of 2007, priority was next placed on applying the HDMT to appropriate land use opportunities. The Executive Park Subarea Plan Health Impact Assessment summarizes the results from the first pilot application of San Francisco's Healthy Development Measurement Tool to a land use development plan.

The Eastern Neighborhoods Area Plans are long-range plans to comprehensively guide development in the Mission, East SoMa and Showplace Square/Potrero neighborhoods. The Plans focus on issues such as the location of buildings, affordable housing, support for existing businesses, open space, urban design, and transportation and circulation. SFDPH recently completed a long awaited application of the HDMT to these plans.

At the request of the Bernal Heights Preschool Committee, SFDPH conducted a Community Health Assessment of the Bernal Heights neighborhood using indicators and data from the HDMT. This report is being used to inform decision-making related to the choice between three potential future locations of the Bernal Heights Preschool. Although the majority of data available in the HDMT is not geographically specific enough to differentiate between the three potential locations under consideration, the data point to a strong need for childcare, investment in schools and parks, valuing of community and social interactions, and retention of racially and socioeconomically diverse communities in the Bernal Heights neighborhood.
