Yachad is the Jewish Housing and Community Development Corporation of Greater Washington, D.C.

We mobilize the resources of the Jewish community to support commercial and housing redevelopment, creating new opportunities for both skilled Jewish professionals and Jewish volunteers of all ages to put into action two central Jewish values: tikkun olam – repairing the world -- and tzedakah – righteousness.

We approach each new endeavor with two goals in mind: to revitalize communities and build meaningful relationships between Jews and the diverse neighborhoods of our extended community.

Yachad means together in Hebrew, and that's how we pursue our mission -- together with synagogues, churches and other nonprofit organizations working to rebuild and revitalize urban neighborhoods.

We practice our mission through many different programs:

• Sukkot in April
• Hart and Hats and Helping Hands Home Repair
• Ramp it Up!
• Faith-to-Faith
• Mitzvah Parties

In all of these programs, we bring in skilled Jewish professionals -- architects, builders, attorneys, and engineers--who donate their time to assist with all phases of development. We bring in volunteers to paint, haul, and repair deteriorating homes and community buildings. And we provide targeted financial support as a catalyst to seed new development.
