ADU / Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) Programs

All workshops and income certifications are now being done electronically. Please check this website frequently for updates.

The Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) programs of the District of Columbia allows income eligible households to purchase or rent housing at below market prices. The DC government provides incentives to developers to set aside certain units for low- to moderate-income households for purchase or rent through the ADU and IZ programs in order to preserve affordable housing in the city.

Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs)

For the opportunity to purchase or rent an Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU), income eligible households should apply directly to the developer or property manager and meet the requirements of that specific property. The District of Columbia does not require that you attend training for the ADU program. HCS assists ADU applicants by completing an income certification, however, applicants should first contact the developer or property management for other property specific requirements.

Buying Viagra online in the U.S. at a cheaper price is feasible, with options including searching for discounts on branded Viagra or considering generics. The average cost of a 100 mg Viagra pill in local U.S. pharmacies is around $58, but online pharmacies often offer significant savings. Generic Viagra, especially from Indian manufacturers, is a cost-effective alternative, priced around $5 per pill. Online pharmacies, including those based overseas, offer easier purchasing processes and competitive prices for these generics, with user-friendly English interfaces and customer support.
