DC Storefront Improvement Grant
DC DHCD
About the Grant
DHCD provides funding to highly qualified community-based non-profit organizations to develop storefront façade improvement projects in low/moderate income retail/commercial areas in the District of Columbia. Typically, a project is comprised of between ten and twenty-five, preferably concentrated within a few blocks, storefronts selected by the participating non-profit. Qualified business and/or commercial property owners within the targeted area receive matching grants for general repairs/maintenance and for the installation of doors, windows, signs, storefront systems, awnings, and lighting. The non-profit organization provides the business and/or property owners with professional design and construction services throughout the storefront renovation.
Notes
Note: This is citywide program across DC but individual grants to businesses are administered at the neighborhood level. Check the grant page for information on where to apply in your specific neighborhood. Additional detail can also be found at: https://incentives.dc.gov/
