Photos taken by Stanley Fields, Construction Analyst, PADD - i - Page 2 Department of Housing and Community Development Property Acquisition and Disposition Division (PADD) Revitalizing Communities One Home at a Time The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) established the Property Acquisition and Disposition Division (PADD) in Fiscal Year 2008 to (1) decrease the number of vacant and abandoned residential properties in the District, and (2) transform vacant and/or abandoned deteriorated properties into homeownership opportunities for District of Columbia residents at all income levels. Through PADD, DHCD encourages property owners, when possible, to rehabilitate and/or occupy their vacant and abandoned residential property. When owners are unwilling or unable to maintain their properties, DHCD acquires such properties through four methods: negotiated friendly sale, eminent domain, donation, or tax sale foreclosure. DHCD then disposes of properties by selling the properties to individuals or developers to be rehabilitated into high quality affordable and market-rate single family and/or multifamily for-sale housing in District neighborhoods. ■ ■ ■ DHCD is located at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, SE and Good Hope Road, SE - PagePage 3ii - Table of Contents DHCD........................................................................................Page ii Property Acquisition & Disposition Division ........................

  • The 11Th Street Bridge Park Baseline Health Assessment
    The 11th Street Bridge Park Baseline Health Assessment Presented to: Scott Kratz, 11th Street Bridge Park Director Prepared by: Mills Wallace, MPH Loretta DiPietro, PhD MPH Milken Institute School of Public Health The George Washington University Washington, DC Funded by: The Kresge Foundation A. Executive Summary Despite Washington, DC being the capital of the United States, the differences between the city’s eight geographic wards in education, income, and public resources are noteworthy. The 11th Street Bridge Park is unique in that it will link one of the more affluent regions of DC (Ward 6) to the lowest income region of the city (Ward 8). Building Bridges across the River (BBAR) at THEARC is a non-profit agency housed in Congress Heights that oversees the 11th Street Bridge Park in achieving the following primary goals: 1) build a healthy community in the neighborhoods surrounding the Bridge Park; 2) restore health to the Anacostia River; 3) enhance connection between the Ward 6 and Ward 8 communities; and 4) become an anchor for equitable and inclusive economic development in the surrounding communities. In that regard, BBAR formed three primary groups associated with the Bridge Park: 1) a Design Oversight Committee to inform a nation-wide design competition; 2) an Arts and Culture Committee to shape on-going programming; and 3) an Equitable Development Task Force to ensure nearby residents can continuously benefit from this new civic space. Each committee is comprised of local residents, business owners, government representatives, and faith communities. The Director of the 11th Street Bridge Park is Scott Kratz.
