An independent audit of three D.C. Housing Authority contracts found the agency wasted about $1.3 million, a source familiar with the document tells LL. DCHA did not disclose the audit or its findings in its responses to the D.C. Council’s annual oversight questions despite a specific request to list any ongoing or completed audits during fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to date.
LL also requested the auditor’s report back in August through the Freedom of Information Act, but DCHA has so far failed to provide it. A source familiar with the document described the audit’s findings to LL.

Curtis spoke with Columbia Housing’s CEO Ivory Mathews about how this workshop will not only help landlords, but it helps those in need to afford a roof over their heads.
Mathews says in 2020, Columbia Housing paid out more than $30 million to local landlords in rental assistance payments, which helped them pay property taxes, mortgages and it gave them the opportunity to help many low-income families afford housing.

The plans for the renovation include a roof replacement, HVAC systems, security improvements, asbestos remediation and more, plus upgrades to make residents feel more welcome.
“The current office situation doesn’t always lend itself to a warm or welcoming situation, CHA Senior Vice President of Development Cindi Herrera said.
Herrera said the central office building was built in 1986 but has never been renovated.
While the vote was almost unanimous, board member Georgia Mjartan strongly disagreed.
“I certainly understand the administrative building is in need of significant renovations and I don’t question that assessment or the fact the roof leaks or there are HVAC problems, and staff are in places that are not appropriate. I understand that, but I strongly believe we have to prioritize and I strongly believe we have to put our community and residents first, Mjartan said.
