In order to reach Mayor Muriel Bowser’s goal of 36,000 new units of housing built by 2025, the District relies on several different agencies to work in tandem to achieve that number. 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.
