Dear Valued Community member,

We are excited to extend a warm invitation to you, for the upcoming District's Olmstead Townhall. This event marks the final of three public meetings designed to foster collaboration between community stakeholders and District agencies. Your participation is instrumental as we strive to enhance the provision of community-based services for individuals with disabilities in crucial areas such as housing, employment, healthcare, and transportation.

The term "Olmstead" draws its significance from the landmark 1999 U.S. Supreme Court case, Olmstead v. L.C., which underscored the ADA's mandate for government services to be delivered to individuals with disabilities in the most integrated setting suitable for their needs.

Event Details:

Date: October 1, 2024

Time: 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Location: Online and at The Arc, 1901 Mississippi Ave SE, Washington, DC

During this gathering, we will delve into the District's past Olmstead initiatives and collectively generate invaluable insights. These insights will play a pivotal role in shaping the development of the new 2025 - 2027 Olmstead plan. This event offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow advocates, gain fresh perspectives, and actively contribute to discussions on how the District should prioritize programs and resources in the forthcoming Olmstead plan.

Your presence at this Townhall is highly valued, and we would be honored to have you join us. Kindly secure your spot by registering through the provided link:
