After renting for years, Reaves said she wanted to invest in her future. She said she was tired of throwing away her money on rent when she could own something of her own. She entered DCHA’s Family Self-Sufficiency program with the end goal of homeownership.
“With FSS, they will help you save your money to put towards your home or whatever bill you owe for your credit. You can pay some of your bills off or purchase your home. And if you don’t have any money, they help you get a job,” said Reaves, who said her FSS coordinators encouraged her throughout the process. “They made sure I got through the program. They made sure I was ready and had all the skills to purchase a home—a stable income and everything.”
The FSS Program is a five- to seven-year program designed to assist DCHA customers achieve economic self-sufficiency. Each participant is assigned to an FSS coordinator who meets regularly with them to help work toward their goals. The intermediary goals are based on three program tracks DCHA offers in addition to a general needs assessment. DCHA offers the following pathways to success: Education, Employment, and Homeownership.
To assist participants with reaching their goals, each customer is assigned a FSS coordinator who guides them through the program, including referring them to employment and other services, credit counseling, and home ownership preparation.
Participants are eligible for Incentive Investments based on enrollment or completion of one of the pathways to success. Individuals on the homeownership path can receive up to $10,000 toward their mortgage. For those in the education pathway, participants can receive up to $2,000 a year towards tuition.
Participants receive $600 for every 12 consecutive months of employment and an income exclusion in the employment pathway.

#Repost @doee_dc • • • • • In Washington, DC we're mostly built out. 74% of all greenhouse gases attributable to the District of Columbia are to our buildings. In the District we're a dense, urban environment, so that challenges us to come up with a lot of different strategies to allow for clean energy to be utilized in multi-family or different building types. @MayorBowser's #SolarForAll initiative allows us to do that better, because the funding encourages District Government to see who can innovate the best. In episode 7, we explore how innovation and collaboration between Solar for All and DC Housing Authority maximizes impact for residents.
Some 65 high school students took their first steps at becoming engineers, pilots, astronauts, and more today as they built solid-fuel rockets and launched them. The young people are all participating in the District of Columbia Housing Authority’s Do Your Best summer employment program for DCHA customers. They were working with STEM Growth, a partnership made possible through U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s EnVision Center program. They also worked together to build several solid-fuel rockets under the guidance of Robinson and his team of youth from Spotsylvania County, Pennsylvania’s Courtland High School. Once several rockets had been completed, the group went to an open field behind the Southwest Family Enhancement and Career Center to launch them. Many launches were successful, but not all! #WeareDCHA #DCHABuilds #STEM #Southwest #STEMGrowth #STEMeducation #STEMcareers
Pittsburgh hits! Pittsburgh scores!
DCHA’s new trikes are cost effective and nimble tools that our officers can use to increase their interactions with the communities they serve and protect. #WeareDCHA #SummerofSafety DCHABuilds #CommunityPolicing
“Our communities have seen great success in the past year with our community policing strategies and targeted patrols,” DCHA Police Chief Joel Maupin said. “With these new trikes, our officers will be very visible, but also be able to traverse more ground quickly. Combining our efforts with MPD’s Summer Crime Initiative will help reduce violent crimes across the city.” #SummerofSafety #WeareDCHA #DCHABuilds

DCHA's Office of Property Management and Operations (PMO) is spearheading the agency's efforts to add more trees to our properties in cooperation with the Mayor's Tree Canopy Plan. The goal is to cover 40% of the District with healthy tree canopy by 2032. DCHA PMO staff and apprentices, along with partners Americorps and C&D Trees, got off to a great start planting more than 40 trees at Stoddert Terrace! Stay tuned for more as we #GreenDC. #trees #arborists #ecofriendly #Beautify DDOT (DC) Sustainable DC

Comments
To Director Tyrone Garrett!!! for the care bags you gave to all the residents of Stoddert/Ft Du’Pont.
I HOPE ENOUGH PEOPLE USE RENTCAFE, THAT HOUSING WILL CONTINUE TO EMPLOY IT AS A METHOD TO PAY YOUR RENT.
Where is the live BOC meeting?
Is there someone I can speak to regarding a program that allow section 8 residents to purchase a home they currently live in? I have a question.
I have an urgent issue regarding DCHA that needs to be addressed *today* and no one is picking up the phone. Can someone please call me at 703 973 4525?
