DC Community Heritage Project
Persistent urban re-development and an increasingly mobile population have proven to be constant threats to community cohesiveness and shared cultural heritage. The DC Community Heritage Project puts the power of community history where it belongs – in the hands of Washington, DC residents. The DCCHP is a far reaching endeavor that helps residents preserve and propagate the history of their neighborhoods. Currently the program includes an annual symposium, Council produced projects, and community project grants of up to $2000.
