DC Villages Serving Older Adults

<span style='color:rgb(77, 77, 77);'>Villages facilitate access to community support services and connection to on-going civic engagement. At the heart of the Village model is the focus on the individual as the core of the community. Therefore, Villages are self-governing, self-supporting, grassroots membership-based organizations. Village members are active participants in the service delivery process and provide essential assistance in the planning and implementation of a wide range of programming. Villages offer members a network of resources, services, programs and activities that revolve around daily living needs. This network includes social, cultural and educational programs, ongoing health and wellness activities and member-to-member volunteer support. Villages focus on expanding choice and access; they create social networks within the community and provide assistance to secure long-term services and supports. The need for this is clear: research shows that the most damaging threat to well-being in later life is not fear of absolute destitution or poor health but loss of life purpose and boredom.</span>

DC Crime Cards

<div>An interactive public crime mapping application providing DC residents and visitors easy-to-understand data visualizations of crime locations, types and trends across all eight wards. Crime Cards was created by the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). Special thanks to the community members who participated in reviews with MPD Officers and IT staff, and those who joined us for the #SaferStrongerSmarterDC roundtable design review. All statistics presented in Crime Cards are based on preliminary DC Index crime data reported from 2009 to midnight of today’s date. They are compiled based on the date the offense was reported (Report Date) to MPD. The application displays two main crime categories: Violent Crime and Property Crime. Violent Crimes include homicide, sex abuse, assault with a dangerous weapon (ADW), and robbery. Violent crimes can be further searched by the weapon used. Property Crimes include burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft from vehicle, theft (other), and arson.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>CrimeCards collaboration between the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://mpdc.dc.gov">Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)</a> and the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://octo.dc.gov">Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO)</a>.</div>

Sex Offender Registry

In 2000, the District of Columbia City Council passed the Sex Offender Registration law. This law requires a person convicted, or found not guilty by reason of insanity, of a registration-required offense to register with the District of Columbia, provided the individual lives, works, or attends school here. Generally speaking, an offense requiring registration is a felony sexual assault (regardless of the age of the victim); an offense involving sexual abuse or exploitation of minors; or sexual abuse of wards, patients, or clients. The Court Services and Offender Supervisory Agency (CSOSA) will complete the initial registration. Other District agencies also have the responsibility to notify either CSOSA or MPD about sex offenders. These agencies include the Department of Corrections, Forensic and Mental Health Unit of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and the District of Columbia Superior Court.

Stream Restoration Project Dashboard

<p>This web app allows users to explore all stream restoration projects within the District of Columbia. DOEE's Watershed Protection Division’s Restoration Branch plans, funds, and oversees activities that will protect and restore river, stream and wetland habitats in the District of Columbia. The intent of these activities is to improve water quality in the District’s waterways and improve the ecological diversity found within the District’s borders.</p><p><strong>Stream Restoration</strong></p><p>Stream Restoration work focuses on stabilizing stream banks, improving water quality, and enhancing habitat conditions in streams across the District. Due to the urbanized nature of the District streams throughout deal with large amounts of stormwater entering the streams during storm events at both high volume and high velocity. These conditions cause high rates of bank erosion which degrades habitat and water quality conditions. Stream restoration work aims to stabilize and enhance stream conditions based on the current urbanized conditions in the District.</p><p>To date the District has restored over 5.2 miles (27,846 ft) of stream in the District over the last decade.
