The District of Columbia’s Department of General Services (DGS) is seeking offers for existing buildings that could serve as non-congregate housing for DC residents who are experiencing or are at risk for homelessness. It is the District’s preference to purchase existing buildings that require minimal reconfiguration in the fulfillment of this requirement outlined in the Premises section below. The District will however consider lease or ground lease options with a preference for lease structures that include a path to ownership. The DC Department of Human Services (DHS) is the agency identified to initially run the operations of the proposed building.
