DC Housing Authority Awarded $34.4 Million in Stimulus Funds

Today, the DC Housing Authority announced it had received a total of $34.4 million in competitive grants spooned from the honey pot that is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (AARA) of 2009. All of this money must be spent within three years, which leaves little room for dilly-dallying!

The money will be disseminated to projects across the city:

• Capper Carrollsburg HOPE VI near Nationals Park in Southeast.
• Mathews Memorial and Sheridan Terrace HOPE VI near Barry Farm in Southeast.
• Highland Dwellings in Washington Highlands.
• Scattered sites in Ward 1.
• Kentucky Courts Park and Garden by Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill.
• The 2905 11th Street Assisted Living Facility in Columbia Heights.

In the spring, DCHA also received a $27 million, non-competitive grant with funds from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The grants are administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). More details below about much money each development received:
