About OAPIA
Created in 1987, the Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs was part of the Executive Office of the Mayor until October 2001, when it became an independent agency through DC Act 14-85, "District of Columbia's Asian and Pacific Islander Community Development Act 2000."
OAPIA’s mission is to help ensure that the full range of health, education, employment, social services and business information, programs and services are accessible to the District’s API community. OAPIA is the liaison between the District government and the API community.
OAPIA works with all levels of government to ensure the delivery of information and services to the API community. Our office organizes and facilitates public and private programs on public safety, human rights, economic development, housing, employment, social services, public health, transportation, education, and multicultural development.
