After years of falling behind the rest of city in the production of new housing, Northwest D.C.’s Ward 3 will see its first affordable project funded by the District’s Housing Production Trust Fund.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser in a press release Wednesday announced the first round of projects to be funded by the HPTF this year. The fund will disburse a combined $135.5M.
The Ward 3 project, part of a redevelopment of the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home, will produce 93 new units of affordable senior housing, per the release. The announcement is the latest step in Bowser’s goal to build 36,000 new housing units between 2019 and 2025, with at least 12,000 affordable units.
