Memo from Deputy Mayor Brian Kenner to Interested Parties Re: Response to May 6 Washington Post article “The DC Housing Department forfeited millions as families waited for help”

Date Released: 

The Bowser Administration is unequivocally serving more residents than we were just two years ago – and the numbers don’t lie. DHCD has almost doubled the output of funding in just two short years, which means twice as many residents will have access to affordable housing in the District every year.

Date Released:
