Human Life Standard.

The "HLS”

A principle that every decision made by the government must improve the quality of life, of every Washington, D.C. citizen.

It creates a city where “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” are not privileges, they are guarantees.

Under the HLS, Washington, D.C. stops managing crises and begins building systems that prevent them, ensuring every household has the chance to not just survive, but to thrive.

It realigns our government around the wellbeing of it’s residents by driving policy decisions that are transparent, measurable, and accountable.
