  9. Howard University LeDroit Park Initiative, Washington, DC The emergence of the Howard University LeDroit Park Initiative coincided with the investment of over $160 million in housing, commercial and public benefit development in the LeDroit Park/ U Street community. This includes over $70 million in investment created by the Initiative. Investment in housing, retail, dining and commercial establishments gave rise to new jobs, more tourism, increasing revenues for the city, and a renewed sense of community for one of Washington, DC’s most historic neighborhoods.

  10. In 1995, a partnership between Howard University and Fannie Mae was formed. The neighborhood population was approximately 18,700 with a median household income of approximately $34,550 and a median home value of $128,203. Approximately 28% of the population had incomes under $15,000 and approximately 17.2% of the population could qualify to purchase a home priced at the median home value. The results of the partnership are apparent as the once blighted neighborhood has been transformed into one that attracted the famous African-Americans who resided there in the past. Participants in this effort have always envisioned the Howard-sponsored redevelopment as a catalyst for other private and publicly sponsored revitalization activities in the neighborhoods and along the Georgia Avenue Corridor.

  11. Investment Plan Goal No. 7 MEETING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS Complete the Howard University/LeDroit Park Neighborhood Partners Initiative.
