Many young people in the District of Columbia are failing to make a successful transition to adulthood. Their challenges include poor preparation for the high-skills labor market and long-standing health problems. Recent District government efforts have centered around school reform and early childhood, but these areas are not sufficient to improve the well-being of older youth. This report provides comprehensive data indicators and analysis on the state of older youth (age 12-24) in the District and examines the role of area nonprofits that work with young people, their families, and neighborhoods.

The 13th annual Fact Book is a comprehensive data source for indicators of child well-being in the District of Columbia. Over 50 data indicators are tracked over time. The Fact Book is organized this year to reflect the six citywide goals for children and youth in the District of Columbia. The six citywide goals are: children are ready for school; children and youth succeed in school; children and youth are healthy and practice healthy behaviors; children and youth engage in meaningful activities; children and youth live in healthy, stable, and supportive families; and all youth make a successful transition to adulthood.

The District of Columbia Housing Monitor will provide a quarterly look at current trends in the D.C. housing market. Each report will use the most recent available data to illuminate housing market and affordable housing trends. In addition, each report will include a special focus section that will analyze, in greater depth, developments that are shaping the District of Columbia housing landscape. In this issue, the special section goes beyond the standard citywide perspective and offers a neighborhood-by-neighborhood view of home sales trends throughout Washington, D.C.
