Facilities Financing for District of Columbia Public Charter Schools

The Office of Public Charter School Financing and Support helps finance public charter school facility projects that:

• create appropriate, safe, and economically efficient environments for the provision of high quality public education;
• provide “gap financing” for public charter school facility projects which are primarily supported by leveraging the facilities allowance to secure private financing and/or other financing sources; and
• improve DC education outcomes by financing the development and expansion of high quality public charter school facilities through the construction and/or renovation of:
  1. former DCPS schools occupied by public charter schools, or
  2. ”commercial market” facilities to be occupied by public charter schools in the District of Columbia.
