New Communities
New Communities logo 
 
The New Communities Initiative is a comprehensive partnership designed to improve the quality of life for families and individuals living in four neighborhoods in Washington, DC: Barry Farm (Ward 8), Lincoln Heights/Richardson Dwellings (Ward 7), Northwest One (Ward 6) and Park Morton (Ward 1). The New Communities Initiative provides resources so that the community, in partnership with public and private entities, can work to transform highly concentrated low-income neighborhoods into healthy mixed-income neighborhoods. The Initiative protects housing for the poor with a one-for-one replacement of existing affordable housing, while improving community anchors like schools and recreation centers. Equally important, the New Communities Initiative works with the community to address residents social and economic needs by providing linkages to job training, asset building, health supports, youth development, and other supportive human services.
