Our goal is to make Washington DC a place where everyone can build a life, regardless of their background or income. We recognize the need for diverse housing types, such as row homes, apartments, and ADUs, to accommodate different needs and preferences. The housing affordability crisis in Washington DC threatens our city's unique diversity and rich cultural heritage. Together, we can build a more inclusive and affordable capital city for all.
