DC Villages is a collaborative network of thirteen individual, non-profit organizations located throughout the District of Columbia. These organizations share a common mission to reduce isolation, improve health, and strengthen community connections for older adults. While each Village operates independently to serve its specific neighborhood, they work together to share resources, strategies, and programs, thereby enhancing their collective impact.

DC Villages’ priorities are focused on:

• Strengthening Village Capacity through training, resource-sharing, and leveraging collective bargaining power.
• Expanding the Village Model with a focus on the equitable distribution of Villages throughout the District to bridge existing services gaps and address racial/income disparities in Villages.
• Enhancing Organizational Development by improving leadership and operational frameworks and utilizing centralized data across villages to ensure sustainable operations and innovative solutions.
