DHCD’s DC.gov hub centralizes housing and community development resources

As of May 12, 2026, the District of Columbia’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) maintains an official information hub on DC.gov that aggregates the agency’s program guidance, service contacts, and public resources for residents, community groups and developers. The page is the agency’s primary public-facing portal for information about housing, neighborhood development initiatives and assistance programs administered by the District.

DHCD is the local government agency tasked with planning and implementing housing and community development activities across the city. The DC.gov portal provides an entry point to the agency’s services, including program descriptions, forms, application guidance and instructions for how residents or organizations can seek support.

What DHCD oversees

DHCD’s responsibilities include promoting housing stability, supporting neighborhood revitalization and managing District-administered housing programs. The agency works with developers, non-profits and federal partners to deliver funding, technical assistance and project oversight across multiple wards of the city.

The web hub organizes these functions for public access. It lists who to contact for different programs and where to find application materials and policy guidance. For residents, the page is a first stop for information on eligibility, how to apply and where to get local assistance.

How residents and partners use the site

Community groups and developers commonly use the DHCD DC.gov page to find grant opportunities, procurement notices and program updates. The portal also provides links to resources that support affordable housing projects, home repair and neighborhood planning efforts, and directs users to agency offices and staff contacts for follow-up.

Because the page is maintained on the official District website, it is the authoritative source for program rules, application deadlines and contact information. Users should rely on the DC.gov listing for the latest published guidance rather than secondary or social sources.

Watch for updates tied to the District’s annual budget cycle and City Council oversight activity; major program changes, funding announcements or policy updates will typically be posted and linked from this hub. For residents seeking assistance, the page remains the recommended starting point to confirm eligibility and application steps.
