Mi Casa Inc. focuses on providing affordable housing in the Washington D.C. area in order to foster healthy and thriving communities. Over the past two decades, it has revitalized over 550 homes for low and moderate income first-time homebuyers and played a lead role in renovating CetroNia, a multi-cultural education center that houses the DC Bilingual Public Charter School. To create job and training opportunities for minority professional and trade persons, it provides capacity-building and financial support for minority contractors and contractors-in-training. Mi Casa’s achievements also include the development of a Spanish-English curriculum to build the capacity of limited equity co-op residents and the establishment of the Cooperative Leadership Training Academy, the only free knowledge-sharing forum on cooperative housing in the District.
