CSA Awarded CityCenterDC Grant

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The Community Services Agency is one of just four nonprofits awarded grants by Hines and the TFI US Real Estate Fund, developers of CityCenterDC, a 10-acre parcel in the heart of the District currently being transformed into a blend of residences, offices, shopping, restaurants, hotel and active parks. The CityCenterDC Opportunity Grants Program awarded a total of $200,000 in one-time grants to CSA, DC Central Kitchen, N Street Village and Urban Alliance as part of a grant-making initiative with The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region. “These four organizations have proven track records of excellence and will use this funding to improve the lives of local residents,” said Community Foundation President Terri Lee Freeman. “This is a very exciting opportunity for the Building Futures program,” said CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. “We look forward to training and placing many additional low income DC residents in good-paying construction apprenticeships and jobs.”
