Happy International Lesbian Visibility Day, DC! ❤️🧡🤍🩷
 
We are proud to celebrate and uplift the many contributions of lesbian residents today and all year long.

Are you ready to welcome Aaliyah Edwards #24, DC?🏀

We're proposing a $5.25M investment to support World Pride 2025.

We're already thinking about how we can include DC entrepreneurs, how we're going to include artists, and how we will celebrate across all 8 wards of our city.

We are aware of a nationwide issue that is causing problems connecting to Content Guru-run call centers.

As our external partner, Content Guru, works to resolve the issue, you may experience some problems while trying to reach our call centers such as 311.

911 is working.

MLK Gateway is bringing office space, retail, and other neighborhood amenities to Anacostia, and DHCD's new office building is a critical part of the project.

Join us to celebrate MLK Gateway Phase II and DHCD's new HQ:

🗓️Tomorrow
⏰11AM
📍MLK Jr Ave x Marion Barry Ave

We are proud that DC leads the country in office-to-residential conversions.

We know how important it is to create new spaces, support innovative projects like Elle apartments, and to continue the transformation of Downtown.

By being strategic about closing opportunity gaps and investing in residents and businesses, we've made DC a top city for tech.

Distributing these computers is one more way we can help local entrepreneurs get their fair shot and make it easier to do business in DC.

The revenue that our Downtown generates fuels investments, programs, and services that reach all eight wards.

In our FY25 Budget, we are making investments that will bring us back to the economic growth levels that have fueled the renaissance of modern Washington.

Pop-ups not only help fill empty spaces – they represent an opportunity for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses by tapping into new audiences and for our creatives to activate low-cost, flexible spaces.
