District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) Executive Director Tyrone Garrett announced that DCHA “has increased participation and success rates by nearly 150 percent in the Section 3 employment program and a 70 percent increase in job training and professional development.” In FY 2018 more than 150 new employees at DCHA or its partner organizations were low-income D.C. residents, and more than half of these new employees were DCHA residents. These employment rates constitute a 150 percent increase from FY 2015. Garrett added, “DCHA will continue to help low-income residents in the District to set their sights high and make their dreams come true.”
