Introducing Future of Aging!

Future of Aging (FOA) is a new project from the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) focused on increasing accessibility and awareness of the Department’s programming to seniors, adults with disabilities, and people who care for them.

DACL Operational Status

December 22, 2021

Many of our programs will be delivered virtually and attendance will be limited for in-person programs.

Please call your senior site or visit their website to verify whether the program you are attending has changed to virtual.

Interested in Becoming a Volunteer?

DC’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), is seeking volunteer counselors who can help DC residents navigate health insurance choices. With more than ten thousand people reaching retirement age in the US every day, the need for SHIP volunteers is greater than ever.

Senior Pet Connect

Join DACL and the Humane Rescue Alliance to combat isolation through our shared love of pets.

Engage with pets in foster care through a zoom call, or a socially distant visit.

DACL in the Community

The Department of Aging and Community Living partners with a variety of government and community organizations to provide information and resources in the community. Find an event in your community and stay informed.
