The District of Columbia is desperately in need of affordable housing. The DC Campaign for Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning (CMIZ)—a diverse coalition of affordable housing advocates, local labor unions, social service providers, civic associations, and faith-based organizations, has been advocating for a mandatory inclusionary zoning policy to be adopted in the District of Columbia. In March, 2006, the Zoning Commission (ZC) issued an historic ruling that was the first step in creating a Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning program in the District of Columbia.
In August, a Final Rulemaking on the parameters of the Zoning Commission’s Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning Program has been published in the D.C. Register.
