DC really needs to get on the RAD bandwagon and take advantage of the private/public partnership. Not long ago, they started self-managing communities that were well run by private management companies. It seems to have gone downhill from there.

That was first thought. Brenda Donald has no discernible experience in real estate management. She has a bunch of somewhat gobbledy gook sounding non profit and political appointments, incestuously floating around local DC and MD government for decades. Just outsource this to the private sector that knows how to manage real estate effectively.

I thought DCHA was, at least partially. I thought Park Morton was a RAD property because it’s going from public housing to mixed income. There’s a lot to unpack with RAD, though, and IIRC, a cap on unit conversions at any given time (don’t want to convert everything then find out unexpected issues).
