DCOA, in
partnership with other D.C. Health and Human Services agencies, was awarded a three year planning grant through the Administration for Community
Living, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant is entitled,
“Transforming State Long Term Services and Supports Access Programs and
Functions into A No Wrong Door System for All Programs and All Payers.”
DCOA is collaborating
with the D.C. Department of Health Care Finance, Department of Developmental
Services, Department of Behavioral Health, and Department of Human Services,
among other agencies, to improve the coordinated response to “transforming, streamlining and
personalizing services into a No Wrong Door (NWD) System.”

The D.C. Public Library (DCPL) Adaptive Services Department has changed its name to the Center for Accessibility.
Why the change? The mission of the Adaptive
Services Department is to make the DC Public Library accessible to persons living with disabilities. As part of their mission, library materials, programs, computers, and the library itself
are accessible to customers with a wide range of disabilities.
