D.C. Housing Authority reaches $20,000 settlement with former agency head
After a year-long legal fight, the D.C. Housing Authority has agreed to pay its former executive director Brenda Donald $20,000 to settle a lone breach-of-contract claim left standing after a judge dismissed all of her other allegations surrounding her decision to leave that position.
In exchange, she has agreed not to disparage an agency long criticized over its performance serving some of the city's neediest residents, according to the settlement agreement, which The Washington Post obtained this week through a Freedom of Information Act request.
