The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) FY 2013 Annual Report has been drafted as a way to educate and update stakeholders on the agency’s programs and services, notable accomplishments, policy and procedure revisions and overall performance during the October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013 timeframe. DHCD has worked very closely with Mayor Gray, DMPED, and partner District government agencies to achieve its mission to “create and preserve opportunities for affordable housing and economic development and to revitalize underserved communities in the District of Columbia.”

The agency houses three operations divisions, in addition to the Office of the Director, that have provided a host of services to residents, business owners and community leaders throughout the District.

This annual report will provide a clear snapshot into how effective and efficient DHCD has been in serving its stakeholders. It also shows how DHCD has supported public and private partners with building homes, shaping communities and changing lives at all income levels.
