DC4ME Highlights

The Agency launched DC4ME during FY 2019 to bridge the gap between D.C. government employees who wanted to buy a home but did not qualify for the Employer-Assisted Housing Program, which is operated by the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development.

DC4ME provides D.C. government employees mortgage assistance in the form of a zero percent deferred subordinate loan. Qualified District government employees can receive a reduced interest rate first trust mortgage, with optional DPA. DC4ME is offered to full-time District government employees, including employees of governmentbased instrumentalities, independent agencies, D.C. public charter schools and other organizations, provided the borrower’s employer falls under the oversight of the Council of the District of Columbia.

During FY 2022, DC4ME funded 19 mortgage loans totalling $6 million with an additional $94,230 in DPA. Borrowers purchased homes in Wards 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8.
