People. Buildings. Community.
Our mission is to preserve and revitalize Washington D.C.’s neighborhoods through programs that connect residents to their collective history, protect the city’s architectural heritage, and reactivate neglected properties within their communities.
Historic Properties Redevelopment Program
The L’Enfant Trust’s Historic Properties Redevelopment Program is D.C.’s first nonprofit real estate developer that focuses on the rehabilitation of distressed historic buildings and community revitalization.
Conservation Easements
A Conservation Easement is an important preservation tool that protects a historic property from demolition, neglect, and insensitive alterations, and ensures that the property maintains its historic character in perpetuity.
Technical Preservation
The L’Enfant Trust maintains a full-time, professional staff and educational resources to assist you with caring for or learning about a historic structure.
We bring vacant, neglected properties back to use.
Help preserve community, history, and affordable homeownership in Historic Anacostia.
