Paying Homage to Our Neighborhoods

NCI consistently hears from residents and other stakeholders about the need to acknowledge the beauty of the existing neighborhoods where we work, even as we plan for future transformation. As one way to honor that request, NCI commissioned DC-based design company Victory Dance Creative to create a series of images that pays homage to each of the four NCI neighborhoods. NCI showcased the images at this year’s DMPED March Madness event. Victory Dance Creative has a DC Neighborhood Project that showcases many neighborhoods across the city, and now the NCI neighborhoods are in that number, with an image that captures a building, landmark or street view that commemorates the neighborhoods’ past, present and future.  View the images below.

2015 Annual Report Released

The New Communities Initiative is pleased to release it’s 2015 Annual Report , which highlights the  key work and accomplishments of the past year, and provides a snapshot of upcoming milestones for the future. While redevelopment often focuses on the physical elements, or “bricks and mortar,” the 2015 Annual Report showcases the people that  live and work in these communities and help make change happen. In our “Faces of NCI” video gallery, you can hear directly from residents, service providers, and our development partners on how New Communities is making an impact.
