Section 10-A1105. CSF-2 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

 

1105.1This section of the Community Services and Facilities Element addresses the adequacy, maintenance, and expansion of community health centers as well as the provision and improvement of human service facilities such as child care and senior centers. These facilities are sometimes referred to as a city’s “social infrastructure.” They are just as important to the quality of life as water, sewer, and transportation facilities, and have spatial needs that must be addressed over the coming years. Planning for social infrastructure is complicated by a number of factors, particularly the changing nature of the nation’s health care delivery system and the District’s limited jurisdiction over private service providers. Nonetheless, the Comprehensive Plan can at least state the city’s commitment to provide for an adequate distribution of public facilities across the city, as well as measures to advance public health through the design of the city and protection of the environment.
