WIN organizes for housing that is affordable, dignified, and accessible to all DC residents—especially those who have been historically excluded and displaced.
Our Approach
WIN’s housing work recognizes that creating truly equitable housing in DC requires multiple, coordinated approaches. Through our interconnected campaigns, we address the full spectrum of housing needs in our community.
Our affordable housing work builds tenant power and preserves existing affordable units. The Black Equity Through Homeownership (BETH) initiative preserves legacy ownership and creates pathways to homeownership for Black residents who have been historically excluded. Our Climate and Healthy Housing campaign ensures that housing is not just affordable but also healthy and sustainable.
Together, these campaigns create a comprehensive strategy that addresses both immediate housing needs and long-term structural barriers to housing justice in the District.
