LinkLinks UrbanTurf: From Vacant to Vibrant to Vexed: The Inefficiencies of Selling Affordable Dwelling Units By Editor On Oct 23, 2020 Last updated Oct 23, 2020 53 Share In August 2019, developer Ihab Mogassbi closed on 1422 Shepherd Street NW (map), a DC rowhouse with an unfinished pop-up that he won in the city’s Vacant to Vibrant auction. The property was one of dozens of blighted properties citywide that the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) auctioned off in 2018 and 2019 for restoration into livable housing, mandating that purchasers provide affordable or workforce housing in the process. 53 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
