Resources for Older Residents

According to Office of Planning’s demographic data, more than one in every five Ward 3 residents is over 65 years of age. That equates to more than 16,000 people, making Ward 3 home to the largest population of seniors of any ward in the District of Columbia.

Councilmember Frumin was proud to introduce the Ceremonial Resolution again in 2025  to recognize the Old People Are Cool project’s important work to confront ageism and support intergenerational collaboration.
