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.

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.

DCHA employees have been spreading holiday cheer within our communities by distributing toys and coats over the past few weeks as part of the Gift of Love.
This year’s Gift of Love toy and coat distribution assigned time slots for pickup by participating families in order to maintain social distancing and to mitigate traffic congestion. The event has been able to serve over 500 participating families since it began this morning. Out of an abundance of caution for our families and our neighbors, we have suspended the remainder of today’s event. Our teams are working with families to facilitate distribution across our properties in the next several days. We look forward to bringing holiday cheer to their homes as we bring this challenging year to a close.

The District of Columbia Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners Meeting
#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.

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!
