For immediate release:
I am grateful to Brenda Donald for her work at the DC Housing Authority. The selection of an interim director and permanent director is very critical to the future success of the agency. Given the numerous recent investigations and suspensions at DCHA, I encourage the Stabilization and Reform Board to select an interim leader with a record of unquestionable integrity, transparency, and independence. I and my colleagues on the Committee on Housing look forward to partnering with the DCHA Board and new leadership to continue the hard work to reform and revitalize DCHA to meet the needs of District residents.
