Dear Housing Provider,

Thank you for the work you do to provide housing to District residents. We know the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency has been far reaching and that the District’s rental stock has been affected as well.

As the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) works to advise Mayor Bowser's administration on strategies and best practices for recovery, we are reaching out to you to gain insight on the impact that the pandemic has had on your tenants and operations.

To that end, we are requesting you complete a brief survey here: surveymonkey.com/r/CQBPMJG.

If you wish to review the survey in advance before submitting online, a copy of the survey may also be found by visiting dhcd.dc.gov.

DHCD is administering this survey for research and policy purposes to better understand how to assist housing providers during the COVID-19 public health crisis. Here are some important details about the survey:

• No project-specific financial information is being requested in the survey 
• All responses are confidential
• A summary of statistics based on the responses will be released without any identifiable information from the respondents 

The survey will be open until November 23. If you are unable to complete the survey in one sitting, you can save your responses and return to complete it at a later time, up until midnight on November 23.

If you have questions about this survey, please contact Danilo Pelletiere at Danilo.Pelletiere@dc.gov or 202-442-7200. 

For additional information about the District’s response to coronavirus (COVID-19), including mortgage and rent assistance, please visit coronavirus.dc.gov/rent

Thank you for your time and attention. Again, please use the following link to submit your responses online: surveymonkey.com/r/CQBPMJG

Sincerely,

Polly Donaldson, Director
