One of those agencies, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is charged with “producing and preserving opportunities for affordable housing and economic development” in DC. This can be done with the creation and/or preservation of affordable housing, bolstering homeownership opportunities, and revitalizing neighborhoods.
