Dear Ward 8 Residents:

Great news! STAY DC providers are returning to the Ward 8 for community pop-up events.

At this time, there is no published deadline for STAY DC application submission. However, we encourage our residents to apply now. As DC comes out of the pandemic, our city is gradually phasing out tenant protections and we want to support residents as they get back on their feet.

We will host pop-up events on September 24th and September 30th. If your household is behind on rental or utility payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for this assistance. 

Let's continue to fight the spread of COVID-19 and get back to normal. We are all in this together.


Peace & Love, 


Councilmember Trayon White, Sr.
