The
DC Developing Families Center (DCDFC) promotes the empowerment
of low-income families through the collaboration of
three nonprofit service providers: the DC
Birth Center, the Healthy
Babies Project, and Nation's
Capital Child and Family Development.
A unique umbrella organization, DCDFC is the first collaboration
model of its kind to offer continuous, uninterrupted
care for women and their families during the important
childbearing and early child-rearing years.
Services
include health checkups for women, children, and teens;
immunizations; pregnancy testing; prenatal care and
education; a free-standing, homelike birth center; early
childhood development services; social service assistance;
job training; and continuing education.
All
services are provided under one roof in a personalized
setting that is easily accessible to the low-income
communities of Carver Terrace and Trinidad/Ivy City
in northeast Washington, DC.
