Helping Tenants Purchase and Rehab the Norwood Shows District’s Commitment to Housing Preservation

The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) recently participated in a ribbon cutting with the 1417 N Street NW DC Tenants Association to celebrate the substantial rehabilitation of their 84-unit building in Ward 2. The association received over $10.3 million in financing from DHCD to acquire the Norwood Cooperative through the District’s Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), and to rehabilitate the building. DHCD Director Polly Donaldson gave remarks at the July 30 ribbon cutting in Logan Circle.
