- The District of Columbia Housing Authority is an independent government agency whose mission is to provide affordable housing to extremely low- through moderate-income households, foster sustainable communities, and cultivate opportunities for residents to improve their lives throughout the eight wards of Washington, D.C. One of the District’s largest landlords, DCHA provides subsidized housing to approximately 50,000 residents, nearly one-tenth of the District’s population. The waitlist for housing assistance was closed in April 2013. Since closed in May 2014, the authority has been in the midst of a campaign to identify those who still need assistance on the list. DCHA manages 52 properties with approximately 8,000 public housing units. The authority also supplies more than 13,000 housing vouchers to District residents, including some 800 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers, more than 2,000 Local Rent Subsidy Program (LRSP) vouchers, and thousands from the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP), formerly known as Section 8. Nearly 19,500 families receive support from DCHA, the majority of those families have black women as the head of household. About 70 percent of those families are voucher holders. Nearly eight percent of DCHA's clients are elderly and 18 percent are disabled. (en)
