Aug 4 | Inclusionary Zoning Workshop

Register: http://ow.ly/41IX50FHrcV

The Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) Program requires that most new (and some renovated) residential developments include some affordable homes. IZ homes are apartments for rent or condos/townhomes for sale.

Eligibility

  • Your household must meet the income requirements. Households that make 50%, 60%, or 80% of the Median Family Income (MFI) may be eligible. CLICK HERE to view current incomes, rents and prices.

  • Your housing costs for an IZ home may not be more than half (50%) of your income (before taxes).

  • You cannot be enrolled in a full-time college or university program.

  • You must live in the IZ home as your primary residence.

  • You (or someone who will live with you) may not own other residential property at the time of lease or purchase.

Anyone who meets these requirements may apply. However, if you (or someone who will live with you) do not live or work in the District of Columbia, the odds are very low that you will be selected.
