The purpose of this RFA is to solicit applications from non-profit community based organizations (CBO) that are able to promote and increase affordable housing in the District, particularly Wards 7 and 8. The marketing, counseling, training and referral services sought by this RFA will supplement the services provided by the existing network of CBO’s funded by DHCD.  The emphasis of this initiative will be to promote homeownership and home preservation through the establishment of up-to-two resource centers, one each in Wards 7 and 8.
