Resiliency & Affordability VISTA
 
 
 
City First Homes is incubating and launching the DCLT, a community-based initiative to preserve and increase affordable housing and prevent displacement, initially focused on DC’s Wards 7 and 8. The key results for the Douglass CLT are to preserve long-term affordability, creating community-held assets, and to build assets for individuals and families, particularly for long-term residents of Anacostia and other neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River. The Douglass CLT has a racial equity outcome as well, given that the residents of Ward 7 and 8 are predominantly poor and African-American. Within 10 years, the Douglass CLT aims to acquire land under 750 homes, providing excellent stewardship of the properties, and ensuing that the residents not only benefit from stable affordable housing (rental and home-ownership), but are part of the decision-making about what happens in their own communities. The Douglass CLT Resiliency & Affordability VISTA will, by assisting in recruiting and activating Douglass Community Land Trust members, work to ensure that residents of the District of Columbia are able to strengthen the existing community and resist displacement that follows patterns of divestment and subsequent redevelopment.
