Developing Affordable Housing
The Daniel A. Payne CDC's vision is to help improve the economic and social quality of life of DC residents by addressing the dislocation of seniors, workforce residents and homeless veterans. We will engage affordable housing real estate opportunities to empower marginalized citizens.
Our strategy for achieving these goals includes: (1) using currently-owned real property, or by acquiring property, to develop new construction or rehabilitate and manage single-family or multi-family properties; (2) partnering initially with experienced real estate development partners on real estate development projects; and (3) developing strategic collaborative community partnerships with other nonprofits like Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., banks, and local government agencies.
While the Daniel A. Payne CDC is doing good for the community in housing developent, our intent is to also increase our financial resources, which will allow us to build organizational capacity in order to provide greater educational and charitable services to the community.
Affordable Housing Development Activities
A. Grants and Capacity Building
DAPCDC was selected by Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. to participate in 12-week lecture series on the housing development process. Lecture was conducted by a development consultant, real estate lawyers, and other development professionals.
In a grant from Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., DAPCDC received project-specific technical assistance from an experienced development consultant. The Enterprise grant also included $45,000 which can be used for conducting early pre-development activities.
B. Current Housing Project
DAPCDC is conducting pre-development activities to determine the feasibility of a proposed housing project to construct apartment units on vacant land for use solely by homeless military veterans. We have architectural drawings/renderings of the proposed residential apartment tower.
