Calling all small building owners, property managers, and Coop boards in Washington, DC - consider applying to our 3C program!

LISC DC and The Coalition are launching a new initiative to support small buildings in Wards 4 and 7 of DC. Our 3C (Connecting Capital and Communities) program will partner with small multifamily affordable apartment or cooperative buildings to preserve the asset and improve the quality of life for their residents. That means buildings with 5-49 units that house folks with low to moderate incomes —no official “affordable housing” subsidy required.

Our program will provide tailored one-on-one coaching on topics such as your building’s physical condition, capital needs, financial health, operations, resident stability and investment readiness. Participants will attend cohort trainings to build an understanding of important issues facing small buildings, such as legal compliance. And all buildings will be eligible for up to $50,000 worth of rapid relief repairs, beautification, unit turn assistance, and other accepted uses.

Sounds like a good fit? Apply today! https://forms.gle/pdppshc5QCRKPCG79

Meet Brittney Drakeford from The Capital Market of 20743, a community-led organization in Prince George’s County, MD that centers food systems and leverages cultural capital to revitalize communities. Drakeford co-founded the organization in 2018 after residents felt the loss of food access when the local grocery store closed.

With support from LISC and Kaiser Permanente, The Capital Market has built its capacity to make an impact by strengthening its board and developing program plans through strategic visioning and planning. Now seen as a trusted conduit for healthy food access, The Capital Market has hosted more than 150 community events, 130 farmers’ markets and food activations, and healthy food walk audits to teach residents how to shape their own food systems.
