The DC Department of Housing and Community Development has partnered with Socialserve.com, a national nonprofit organization, to develop an online affordable-housing listing and locator service for D.C. Residents. The free service will enable residents to browse listings of available properties. Landlords and property managers can use the service to list properties. A toll-free, bilingual call center for people without Internet access will be available from 9 a.m. to 8pm weekdays. Leila Finucane Edmonds, the Department of Housing director, said the site will be available Nov. 1. Updated information on the site will be posted here. "Individuals will be able to search by fields such as ward, Zip code, price, the number of bedrooms, proximity to public transportation, accessibility features and income or age restrictions," said Kathryn Howell, a D.C. Strategic programs specialist working on the implementation of the site. Looking for food resources in DC?
