COMMUNITY IMPERATIVE
It takes the whole community, all members of the community to be involved.
As part of our nonprofit corporate social responsibility with our association HQ in Ward 8 we have a voice in community engagement. Our focus were in the area of decreasing the food desert within the community by promoting urban farming, supermarkets, and food dispensing facilities not alcohol consumption.
To all BEMA International members get involved locally in areas that you are comfortable in issues of your community before moving to more complex issues. Get involved.

On November 2, 2020 the DC Alcoholic Beverage Regulation
Administration held a hearing and dismissed
Wonder Mart, LLC's application for a liquor license in Ward
8. I would like to thank everyone that helped make this
protest successful. It was a collective effort. This is a
major victory for the #PublicSafety and #PublicHealth of #Ward8.
There are an excessive amount of stores in Ward 8 that
provide mind altering substances within close proximity to
schools and recreation centers. This puts our children at
great risk. By significantly reducing the number of
establishments that provide these mind altering substances,
we stand a better chance at reducing crime in the area.
#NoMoreLiquorStoresInWard8
Thank you
Commissioner
Salim Adofo

The
District of Columbia operates a federally-funded child care
assistance program that helps eligible families pay for child
care. The Child Care Subsidy Program offers families a wide
range of child care options. The variety of schedules and
types of programs enable families to choose the setting that
best meets their needs. Providers must sign an agreement with
the Division of Early Learning to participate in the Child
Care Subsidy Program.

The DCRA
Resident Inspector Program is an innovative approach that
applies successful elements of the on-demand, gig economy to
the most requested types of inspections performed by DCRA.
Put simply, DCRA trains District residents to perform
housing, illegal construction, and vacant building
inspections, and then pays the trained inspectors whenever
they successfully complete an inspection.
