Today we issued our Three-Year Recovery Plan. With defined strategic goals and specific objectives for the agency and its departments, the Recovery Plan is the roadmap for the transformation of DCHA. “The Three-Year Recovery Plan is the starting point in a measured and proactive strategy to restore the community’s trust in the DC Housing Authority, rebuild our relationship with our residents, voucher participants and landlords, and revitalize the affordable housing available to low-income District families,” Executive Director Keith Pettigrew said.

Our first Rebuilding Our Communities Block Party was a success! We had great food and tons of fun while reconnecting with our residents and neighbors. For more photos & info on our Rebuilding Our Communities summer events series, visit https://lnkd.in/eqm9q7ZF
One of the most rewarding parts of the job is connecting with DCHA families. DC Housing Authority held its first Rebuilding Our Communities Block Party last month at LeDroit Park. We had a cookout with burgers and hot dogs, Caribbean food, and an ice cream truck. And there was a live band and a DJ, bounce houses, a water slide, a video game station and tons of games and activities for kids, including my favorite - the foam pit. Thank you to our partners and the 30 service providers, as well as our Kelly Miller, LeDroit Park and Garfield Terrace families and our neighbors in the surrounding community for making our first Block Party a success! https://lnkd.in/ehAqqvdY
