One goal of the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is to ensure that District residents have housing that is not only affordable but safe. It fulfills this mission in partnership with DHCD-funded community-based organizations (CBOs) in several ways:
- Providing grants for roof repairs and accessibility improvements, through our, Single Family Residential Rehabilitation Program (SFRRP).
- In conjunction with the Department of Aging and Community Living, providing preventative adaptations to reduce the risk of falls in the homes of qualifying seniors and adults with disabilities, through the Safe at Home program.
