Department of Housing and Community Development

We provide quality housing, homeownership opportunities and access to wealth opportunities for Prince George’s County residents. Our primary beneficiaries are the residents and businesses located in the “developed tier” or “gateway communities” of the County. This mission is accomplished through the collaborative effort of three entities within the Department: the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Housing Authority of Prince George’s County, which provides management of the County’s public housing inventory; and the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County, which coordinates revitalization and redevelopment efforts within the County and acts as a facilitator of redevelopment through partnerships with private and public organizations. The Department of Housing and Community Development is itself broken into two divisions, Community Planning and Development and Housing Development.

Our customer focused, results-oriented staff uses innovative planning, creative financing and aggressive grantsmanship in partnership with all stakeholders to enhance and rejuvenate the quality of life for the residents of Prince George’s County.
