Reverend David C. Bowers


As Vice President/Impact Market Leader for Enterprise
Community Partners, David's work includes facilitating
affordable housing and community development deals
in collaboration with government agencies, lenders,
for-profit and non-profit developers in the Mid-Atlantic
region (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia). In
addition, his office provides capacity building and
technical assistance to local non-profit developers.
The local Enterprise office also participates with local
coalitions and collaboratives advocating for increased
resources for affordable housing and community
development. In the nine years that David has served with Enterprise, the
company has provided over $350 million in capital to support affordable
housing efforts in the D.C. metro area. During Davids tenure the office
has initiated its Faith-based Development Initiative (a collaboration with
Georgetown University, East of the River Clergy, Police, Community
Partnership and Wesley Seminary), GreenPATH (a transit oriented
preservation/resident displacement prevention collaboration with the
National Housing Trust) and the D.C. Green Communities Initiative (a
collaboration with GreenHOME/Greenspace).

In July 2004, David completed his service as a Program Manager for a
single-family housing program at the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust.
His duties included developing, implementing and monitoring the HIT
HOME single-family mortgage program in metropolitan areas across the
country. Prior to joining the Trust, David was a Financial and Programs
Advisor at the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the
U.S. Department of the Treasury. In that position he developed and
managed CDFI's compliance monitoring review system. From 1995 to
1999 he worked in the office of U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, at the
time the ranking member of the Senate VA-HUD Appropriations
Committee. David served as the senator's Senior Legislative Assistant,
with responsibility for analyzing and providing policy recommendations on
legislation pending before various appropriations subcommittees,
including VA-HUD, Transportation and Commerce. He also served as one
of two permanent staff members of the senator's VA-HUD Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee team.


over
David is an ordained minister who previously served on the staffs of the
Community of Hope A.M.E. Church in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland and the
Amistad St. Paul United Church of Christ in Lanham, Maryland. He earned
his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Virginia and his Masters of
Divinity from Howard University. In August 2013, David was sworn in by
Mayor Vince Gray as the Chair of the District of Columbia Housing
Production Trust Fund Advisory Board. David is a founding member of
the Greater Washington chapter of 100 Black Men and a member of the
Leadership Greater Washington Class of 2009 (Primetime09). David is a
member of the board of Jubilee Housing, the Northern Virginia Affordable
Housing Alliance and City First Enterprises. David is a former Vice-Chair
and board member of Thrive DC a services program for homeless
persons. David is also a former Co-Chair of the Community Development
Support Collaborative. He is a former member of the District of Columbias
Board of Real Property Assessments and Appeals and the District of
Columbias Juvenile Justice Advisory Group. He is the founder of the all-
volunteer NO MURDERS DC (NMDC) movement. Launched on
December 22, 2000, the movement's mission is to end murder in
Washington, D.C. The movement volunteers believe that one murder is
one murder too many, and that the resources to end murder in D.C. exist
in D.C. Hence, they are dedicated to working toward a MURDER-FREE
DC. In December 2006 the D.C. City Council enacted legislation
championed by NMDC that required the Mayor to create a Comprehensive
Homicide Elimination Strategy Task Force. Another key accomplishment
for the NMDC movement was the modified adoption by former DC Mayor
Anthony Williams of a NMDC proposal to have appropriate City
government agencies have at least one performance benchmark related
to the prevention of murder.
