• In this unprecedented endeavor, MHCDO has secured over $30 million in pre-development funding and HUD conversion approval in support of the redevelopment of Mayfair Mansions, a historic apartment complex, into a mix of affordable rental and homeownership units.
• Having sold the 4th & Mississippi Avenue property, MHCDO will continue to participate as a minor partner with a 1% interest in the development of 95 units of workforce housing at this east of the Anacostia River location;
• Leveraged two-year grant from Enterprise Community Partners for $75,000 to grow resident services programs at Meadow Green Courts apartment complex. This grant enabled the organization to secure $200,000 in additional funds to further programs to benefit resident youth and residents which will hopefully serve as a model to be replicated at MHCDO’s other multi-family properties in the future;
• Increased programmatic operations at the Family Enhancement Center located at the Lincoln Heights public housing complex to avail adult education, employment, and civic involvement opportunities to residents;
• Finalized plans with the DC Zoning Commission of the Planned Unit Development proposed by MHCDO and its partners, moving forward the Parkside Mixed-Use Development, a model transit-oriented community comprised of 1,500-2,000 for sale and rental housing units, 500,000-700,000 sq. ft. of office space, and 30,000-50,000 sq. ft. of retail space adjacent to the Minnesota Avenue Metro station;
• Reached tentative agreement with DC government for site control of land located in Deanwood neighborhood of Ward 7 that will be developed as Hamilton’s Landing (formerly known as Bundle 16, a scattered-site development of 27 single-family townhomes);
• Negotiated $3 million in financing for the construction of Hilltop Terrace II, 14 single-family homes;
• Involvement as a community lead partner in the Skyland mixed-use project, the construction of a town center development with mixed use retail, rental, and single-family townhomes;
• Completion of 2006 financial audit to ensure fiduciary compliance accountability;
• Creation of the positions of the chief of staff and special assistant for grants management and resource development. The office of the chief of staff is charged with streamlining staff efficiency, management of daily operations, and organizational project oversight—freeing the executive office of administrative duties that lengthen the pursuit of greater resource |
