Greenleaf Redevelopment
203 M Street Southwest, Washington, DC
Overview
The Greenleaf redevelopment will transform the existing 493 units of public housing into a mixed-income and mixed-use development with quality, sustainable housing choices to serve a diversity of ages and family needs. The redevelopment will be completed in multiple phases and will minimize resident displacement while creating a mixed-income community consisting of public housing, affordable, workforce, and market-rate options.
Vision
The vision for this redevelopment is to create a “model community” that celebrates and retains a diversity of races, ages, and incomes, while delivering modern, sustainable housing and infrastructure improvements that enhance the quality of residents’ lives and help weave Greenleaf into the surrounding neighborhood fabric.
Plan Objectives
- One-for-one replacement of all 493 public housing units
- Build first to minimize resident moves and allow for zero permanent displacement
- Modern, sustainable housing and infrastructure including expanded amenities, high-quality construction, and on-site management to address residents needs
- Improve public safety through secure private spaces, activated public spaces, and management on-site to address resident needs
- Neighborhood integration to promote a mixed-income, mixed-age, connected SW
- Development of human capital through enhanced resident services and opportunities

Revitalization Plan
Between August 2021 and November 2021, residents and community stakeholders participated in a series of meetings to help Greenleaf District Partners (GDP) and DCHA craft a “Greenleaf Revitalization Plan” that will guide future development activity. This plan is intended to build on the redevelopment vision and priorities developed with stakeholders over the last several years, and to prioritize addressing resident needs. Throughout this planning effort and beyond, GDP is committed to an intentional and inclusive engagement process. The feedback and outcomes from all work sessions culminated in a Final Presentation that was presented to the community on November 10.
