How Does the Construction Process Work?

• Pre-Construction Process: DHCD develops a scope of work, selects a licensed and certified contractor through the DC procurement process, and manages the construction.
• Construction and Closing Process: All rehabilitation, roof replacement, and accessibility contracts are between the homeowner and the contractor. DHCD will pay the contractor on behalf of the homeowner. The homeowner does not pay the contractor. Construction will take place from January 1 through September 30 of the fiscal year in which the application is approved. Please note that the fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30.
