LANDLORDS
Landlords
More than 3,400 property owners in the District of Columbia are Housing Choice
Voucher Program landlords. They work closely with the District of Columbia
Housing Authority to develop and maintain a program that not only provides
needed housing for thousands of families, but offers financial rewards for
property owners, as well, including direct deposit and rents that are
guaranteed. A Housing Providers Association helps shape policy that protects
both landlords and tenants — and an agreement between the landlord, DCHA, and
the tenant clarifies everyone’s obligations. HCVP is an effective way to expand
the number of safe, quality homes available to low- and moderate-income
residents of the city, while stimulating community stability and economic
growth.

The District of Columbia Housing Authority and its contractors provide job
training and employment opportunities to eligible low-income individuals in
Washington, D.C. In addition, DCHA also offers training and support for
low-income clients who are seeking employment opportunities.

and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u), as amended by Section 915
of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The acts “ensure that
employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain HUD financial
assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing
federal, state, and local laws and regulations, be directed toward low- and very
low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government
assistance for housing, and to business concerns which provide economic
