News & Updates

Join us on Friday, June 18, as CNHED, our members and advocates urge the DC Council to make affordable housing and community economic development programs a priority in the FY2022 Budget, and fully-fund critical programs for the under-resourced communities in the District who were disproportionality impacted by COVID-19.

As CNHED wraps up our 3rd program year with AmeriCorps VISTA,  we say farewell to our current cohort of VISTA volunteers who have dedicated their time and energy to serve at our member organizations, empowering communities in the District. We thank you for your service and wish you all success in your next endeavor!

CNHED is challenging the community to join us for our District-wide Small Business: The Heart of DC Scavenger Hunt. Residents will have an opportunity to sign-up to participate in a scavenger hunt and safely venture out and explore our commercial corridors.

CNHED is asking YOU to write a Haiku about your favorite small business in the District, what you love about the District’s local and small businesses, or why you shop local and small. The top prize is a $150 gift card.

To support small businesses this #DCSmallBusiness month, we are doing a gift card giveaway! Small businesses and DC residents are encouraged to participate!

As we turn toward recovery from the pandemic, the FY2022 budget will be vital to ensure that the District’s affordable housing and economic development programs receive the funding they need to effectively address the needs of under-resourced and vulnerable communities.
