Surveys show that nearly 90% of people 65 and older want to stay in their homes as long as possible. Will you have all of the support you will need to live comfortably and safely in your home as you age, even when you begin to have some physical limitations?

What is a Village?

A group of people who want to continue living in their own homes as they get older with all the resources, friends and multigenerational community connections to enable them to enjoy active, healthy and safe lives.

Membership in a village provides many of the benefits of a retirement community without giving up one’s independence, home and neighborhood ties.

Are there Villages in Arlington Virginia?

There are no villages in Arlington, but there are 15 in the DC metro area with several more in development. The Arlington Villages Project Team is working to establish a network of villages throughout the County. There is a considerable amount of work to be done so many volunteers are needed.

If you would like to find out more about us or have someone speak to your organization, send us an email. If you would be interested in keeping abreast of our progress, ask to be included on our email list.

If you are personally committed to seeing villages become a reality in Arlington volunteer with us go the volunteering webpage. We have an enormous amount of work to accomplish and are seeking  individuals with a wide variety of skills willing to work to make this project a success.
