The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) was awarded a $3,509,112 Project Grant on August 26, 2024 under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant - PRO (Pathways to Removing Obstacles) Housing Competition (CFDA 14.023). The grant funding will be used by MWCOG, a non-profit regional planning organization, to identify and remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation across the National Capital Region. Key activities include developing housing policy plans, improving housing strategies, facilitating affordable housing production, and implementing infrastructure upgrades to support housing development. As a pass-through entity, MWCOG plans to administer portions of the grant funding to local governments and non-profit partners to deliver regional planning, direct services, and administer federal funding to address affordable housing challenges in the D.C. metropolitan area.
