Letter from the Mayor

Dear Washingtonians,

Earlier this week, during a visit to our Benning Road/Minnesota Avenue Family Success Center, we kicked off tax season by reminding residents of the credits and programs you can use to put money back in your pockets this year.?

We specifically want to make sure DC residents know about the federal and DC Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). By claiming these two credits, qualified workers are eligible for up to $9,000 combined?? that's a lot of money! If you earn less than?$60,000, you should check to see if you are eligible (learn more about the federal EITC HERE [ [link removed] ] and the DC EITC HERE [ [link removed] ]). People with and without children are eligible for these credits.?

There are also other ways to save money and get money back during tax season. For example, several years ago, we created and then made permanent the Keep Child Care Affordable Tax Credit to make child care more affordable for District families. The credit is available to taxpayers based on the amount of eligible child care expenses you paid.

Before doing your taxes this year, I encourage you to take time to research the credits you are eligible for and to *take advantage of free tax clinics* [ [link removed] ].

Every year, millions of dollars go unclaimed during tax season?? make sure you don't leave any money on the table.

Sincerely,

Muriel Bowser

Apply for DPW's Food Waste Program
DPW

The Department of Public Works (DPW) Food Waste Drop-Off Program allows residents to drop off food waste for composting year-round at 10 drop-off locations across DC. This spring, DPW will be expanding the program by adding two additional sites. Current Food Waste Drop-Off sites are co-located with farmers' markets; these two new sites could be co-located at a community garden, on a college campus, in a church parking lot, or anywhere people frequently congregate.

DPW is now hiring people to establish, manage, and staff the new sites. All members of the public are encouraged to apply, including community members, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, businesses, and more.

Interested applicants should apply HERE [ [link removed] ] by January 31, 2023.
