Content Section Demo

Text

This page demonstrates the different types of content sections available. We'll start with Text which is very simple. Just a box of text. Most sections also have a choice of headline style -- this is Level 3 Blue

This is a big Hero Slide

This is a Photo Headline. It just has one block of text and a large square photo. It can hold much more text than the hero slide though. It's good for things that need longer explanations or more text than a headline can hold. This section can about 65 to 85 words depending on how many Ms and Ws you like to use. This example has 75 words in it and should give you an idea of how it looks.

Did you know this is a Quote/Fact section? It can contain a quote or a fact, plus a photo. This is a Dark Gray box in the "Quote over Photo" style. There's room for a good amount of text, for a longer quote or more detailed fact.

The FY18 HUD Budget Proposal: Analysis & Views

6.27.17

The Trump Administration released its full budget proposal for fiscal year 2018 (FY18) on May 23, 2017—after providing a preview of the budget proposal (“skinny budget”) in March. If the skinny budget was a sour-tasting appetizer, the full budget is a bitter, acidic and hard-to-swallow main course with the promise of a long-lasting aftertaste. As U.S. Representative Katherine M. Clark (D-MA) said during a budget hearing, “This budget as a whole is a recipe for killing our economy.”

CLPHA Provides Analysis of FY18 HUD Budget Cuts

6.23.17

The Trump Administration’s full budget proposal released last month for fiscal year 2018 (FY18) would have severe and cumulative effects on public and affordable housing programs across the country, while shredding the safety net on which many low-income Americans rely. It is clear that the Trump Administration has targeted America’s most vulnerable citizens to bear the brunt of an FY18 budget that threatens to upend the economy and cost-shift the burden to the poor.

HUD Issues Guidance on SAC Applications for Public Housing Demolition and Disposition

Limited Availability of Tenant Protection Voucher Funding

On December 26, HUD published a notice outlining the justification criteria a PHA will need to submit for approval of public housing (PH) demolition and disposition, as well as the eligibility of PHAs to receive and issue tenant protection vouchers (TPVs).

Justification criteria for the demolition of PH properties includes demonstrated physical issues of the buildings/units, obsolescence due to location and other factors, a scope of work including cost-estimates for repairs that shows rehabilitation is financially infeasible, and that the PHA demonstrates that the management and marketability of the units impedes operations.

As part of HUD’s approval of a Special Applications Center (SAC) application, a PHA may be eligible to receive Section 8 HCV assistance from HUD in the form of TPVs. The issuance of TPVs to a PHA does not occur automatically with SAC approval of an application. Instead, the PHA must apply separately for TPVs in accordance with PIH Notice 2024-16. HUD’s approval of the SAC application indicates the maximum number of both relocation and replacement TPVs that a PHA may be eligible to receive. Based on limited availability of TPV funding, HUD is limiting the maximum TPV awards to 25% of the units occupied in the last 24 months at the development for dispositions under the improved efficiency or effectiveness justification.

2024 Picture of Preservation Report Assesses Current State of Federally Assisted Housing

PAHRC and NLIHC released the 2024 Picture of Preservation Report, which analyzes the latest data from the National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD) to assess the existing federally assisted housing stock and the specific preservation risks faced by these homes, including expiring affordability and eligibility restrictions, physical quality, and significant reductions in federal allocations. The report also includes a dashboard that summarizes some key information featured in the report by state, county, and congressional district, and an accompanying blog post summarizes the findings.

Key findings featured in the report include:

Federally funded project-based rental subsidies support 5 million rental homes, representing 10% of the rental housing stock nationwide.
The average federally assisted home has been affordable for 36 years.
The housing stock has seen a marginal net gain of only 33,992 federally assisted homes in recent years.
Exit risk is growing across the federally assisted housing stock. Affordability restrictions will expire for 374,497 federally assisted homes in the next five years, representing 7% of the stock.
Public housing faces a significant and growing depreciation risk. Approximately 267,000 public housing homes (30%)—twice the number from 2019—failed their most recent Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) physical inspection and likely require immediate investment.
Since 2010, key HUD project-based housing programs have lost a cumulative $21.3 billion in appropriations relative to the amount of funding that would have been available had funding been maintained in line with fiscal year 2010 levels adjusted for inflation.

The report emphasizes the need for improved policies to preserve the nation’s federally assisted housing stock, including increased annual appropriations and stronger preservation protections. The authors will host a webinar to discuss their findings on Wednesday, Dec. 11, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, DC Housing Authority Cut the Ribbon on The Asberry, the First On-Site Building Delivered at Historic Barry Farm–Hillsdale

From the District of Columbia Housing Authority's press release:

Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED), alongside the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and nonprofit developer Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), celebrated a historic milestone for the Barry Farm-Hillsdale community with the grand opening of The Asberry, a 108-unit mixed-use building and the first on-site building delivered under the New Communities Initiative (NCI) at Barry Farm. Officials and community members also broke ground on The Edmonson, a 139-unit affordable mixed-use property and the second new construction building on site.

“As a city, we made Barry Farm residents a promise under our New Communities Initiative – that we would welcome residents back into fantastic, safe, and affordable housing that honors and preserves the rich legacy of the community,” said Mayor Bowser. “Today, we take another step forward in delivering on our promise in a way that respects and celebrates the history – and future – of Barry Farm-Hillsdale.”

Located at 1200 Sumner Road SE, adjacent to the Barry Farm Recreation Center, The Asberry is the first building completed as part of the redevelopment of the historically significant Barry Farm-Hillsdale community. Established in 1867, Barry Farm was created to provide formerly enslaved African Americans with the opportunity to own land and build a self-sustaining community after the Civil War.

DCHA and POAH serve as co-developers for the site. Once completed, the Barry Farm redevelopment will feature a vibrant mixed-income community with at least 900 new affordable rental and for-sale housing units, including 380 public housing replacement units. The Barry Farm redevelopment project has so far created a total of 351 construction jobs for DC residents, with the highest percentage going to residents living in Ward 7 (68) and Ward 8 (92).

“This is a watershed moment for our DCHA families who had made Barry Farm Dwellings such a special place to live,” said Keith Pettigrew, DCHA Executive Director. “The opening of The Asberry gives our returning residents an opportunity to live in new, modern homes and creates a foundation for reestablishing the vibrant, spirited Barry Farm community for generations to come. Thank you to our partners in this project for bringing quality affordable housing options to Anacostia while honoring the Barry Farm-Hillsdale legacy.”

The Asberry, which has 77 replacement units for former Barry Farm residents, is a 100% affordable, 55+ senior preference residential property with 33 units at 30% of Median Family Income (MFI), 44 units at 50% MFI, 21 units at 60% MFI, and 10 units at 80% MFI. It also includes 5,096 square feet of commercial space and amenities include a sundeck, courtyard, fitness center, recreation room, and wellness room. Construction was completed in October 2024. The Edmonson will be the second newly constructed building in the redevelopment project, which is being led by co-developers DCHA and POAH. It will include 139 affordable units, including 52 two-bedroom units. The Edmonson will also have 50 replacement units for former Barry Farm Dwellings residents, 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, shared community spaces, and outdoor amenities.

“We are excited to celebrate the progress of the Barry Farm Redevelopment Project with the grand opening of The Asberry and the groundbreaking of the forthcoming Edmonson,” said Maia Shanklin-Roberts, Vice President of Real Estate Development, POAH. “These milestones represent not just buildings, but a vibrant future for this community—one rooted in opportunity, equity, and connection. It’s an honor to be part of a development that prioritizes quality, affordability, and the preservation of the rich history of Barry Farm, while paving the way for generations to thrive.”

DMPED invested approximately $43 million in Phase 1 of the redevelopment, including roughly $14.5 million towards construction of The Asberry. The five-story building also was funded by $33.7 million in tax-exempt bonds issued by the DC Housing Finance Agency (DCHFA).

“Mayor Bowser is delivering on the promises the District made as a city to the Barry Farm–Hillsdale community,” said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert. “DMPED is proud to be a part of this incredible partnership that is fostering inclusive growth and delivering the type of housing, amenities, and opportunities that residents want and deserve. And we’re just getting started.”

For The Edmonson, DCHFA issued $61.1 million in tax-exempt bonds and underwrote $52 million in federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity. DMPED also provided a $21 million NCI loan. A $2.5 million grant from the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia and $3 million in financing from DC Green Bank is supporting a community geothermal system, which provides energy efficiencies, cost savings, and sustainability.

“The Barry Farm community is a site full of history and culture. The Asberry is the next chapter and a resurrection of that culture. Seniors, our long-term residents can now return to wonderful homes that are beautiful, healthy, and affordable,” said Christopher E. Donald, Executive Director/CEO, DC Housing Finance Agency (DCHFA). “DCHFA is proud to continue investing in the redevelopment of Barry Farm. The Edmonson is the Agency’s second investment. We eagerly anticipate what is to come and look forward to much more in subsequent phases of redevelopment of Barry Farm.”

By using an innovative Faircloth-to-RAD conversion approach, the Barry Farm redevelopment will increase the number of affordable housing units available at the site. Once complete, the project will create at least 900 residential units across several buildings – including at least 380 affordable replacement units onsite for former Barry Farm residents, an additional 320 other affordable units and 100 homeownership units; community-serving retail spaces; and a large central park with community facilities for on-site services and programs.

Run through a partnership with DMPED and DCHA, NCI is a District government program that was created to redevelop distressed public housing communities into vibrant mixed-income neighborhoods. Barry Farm is one of four NCI projects, along with Northwest One which officially opened in Ward 6 in late 2022; Lincoln Heights – Richardson Dwellings in Ward 7, where hundreds of replacement units have been delivered; and Park Morton in Ward 1, where construction is underway.
