City Affordable Housing Projects Win State Funding

The City of Alexandria is pleased to announce that the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has announced awards totaling $14.3 million to three Alexandria affordable housing projects: $3.4 M for Community Housing Partners’ Witter Place; $8.1 M for Phase I of Housing Alexandria’s Sansé and Naja project; and $2.9 M for Housing Alexandria’s Seminary Road project.

Located at 2712 Duke Street, Witter Place will redevelop a former car dealership into 94 family-sized affordable rental units welcoming residents with incomes between 40% and 60% of the area median income (AMI); the project will start construction this Fall. 

Over multiple phases, a total of 474 units, including 416 rental units affordable at 40-80% AMI, and 58 affordable condominium units will be built as part of the Sansé and Naja communities in Arlandria Chirilagua. The project includes neighborhood-serving commercial space and flex space for City agencies. Construction of the underground parking, as well as infrastructure and stormwater management improvements, are underway.

Seminary Road is a new affordable condominium community offering 36 townhome and multifamily-style homeownership units affordable to first-time buyers with incomes up to 80% AMI. Three additional condominium units will welcome adults with intellectual and development disabilities, replacing an aging group home at the development site. Sitework began in January, and homes are anticipated to be delivered in mid/late 2025.  Funding for Seminary Road also included an award for Housing Innovations in Energy Efficiency (HIEE), a program that supports energy efficiency upgrades in affordable housing buildings.
