FY26 Capitol Hill Construction Impact Grant Program
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) Release Date: April 10, 2026
Request for applications (RFA) Release Date: Friday, May 1, 2026
RFA ID No: DMPED-FY26-BD-LO-CHCI
The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (“DMPED”) invites the submission of applications from qualified organizations for a grant under the Capitol Hill Construction Impact grant program (“CHCI” or “Program”). The purpose of the program is to provide short-term financial relief to support small businesses impacted by District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”) construction near Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, and Potomac Avenue, SE, and along 8th Street SE, between Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, and Virginia Avenue, SE, in the District of Columbia (“District”).
Construction activities in these streets may limit access, visibility, and customer flow for neighborhood-serving small businesses. The Program provides short-term financial relief to help sustain affected businesses during this period.
Small businesses may use grant funds to prepare for or recover from any revenue losses they may face as a result of these construction projects. Specifically, grant funds may be used to pay or reimburse the following cost of the impacted business, provided they are sufficiently documented, reasonable and necessary for the operation of the business during the period of construction, and incurred within the same period as the applicable construction project(s) are conducted:
Rent
Utilities
Insurance
CAM (common area maintenance)
Mortgage
Other reasonable business operations costs as proposed by the applicant and approved by DMPED
