The Age-Friendly DC  2018-2023 Task Force has finished its order from Maor Muriel Bowser.  The Age-Friendly DC 2018-2023 Strategic Plan. Released by the Mayor in October 2018 was implemented and evaluated.  A final report will be released by the Mayor soon.

The 2024-2028 Age-Friendly DC Task Force is expected to begin its work in March.  The announcement of the launch meeting and the agenda will be posted as soon as they are available.

The final 2018-2023 report describes the results of the  5-year progress evaluation.  To evaluate progress the Age-Friendly DC Task Force utilized a mixed methods design that consisted of three components. 

  • The DC Livability Survey was distributed by the Mayor’s Offices of Community Relations and Community Affairs, at events across the city, in all 26 DC libraries, and publshed in The Beacon Newspapers, 
  • Focus groups were conducted with approximately 6-12 members per group with the goal of understanding how residents perceived change in each of the 14 domains over the past five years. Focus groups were conducted in each of the 8 Wards and with 21 special populations groups. 
  • Age-Friendly DC Task Force members for each domain were asked to report data on the completion of the plan aims, goals and strategies.
