The Congress Heights, Anacostia, and Saint Elizabeths area-—called collectively “CHASE” for this initiative—is expected to see many more new housing developments, major redevelopment projects, jobs, and transportation infrastructure investments in the next five to ten years. The CHASE Action Agenda takes steps to ensure that these changes bring meaningful economic opportunity to Ward 8 and its residents and businesses. It builds on unique assets already in or coming to the area, such as historic neighborhood districts, new jobs at Saint Elizabeths (East and West campuses), and increased transportation options like streetcar service.
