APAH Breaks Ground on Senior Housing in DC Ward 4
Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) broke ground Friday on Riggs Crossing Senior Residences, a new senior affordable housing development coming to Ward 4. The project is part of APAH’s regional expansion and marks its first community in the District of Columbia.
When completed, the project will add 93 apartments for independent adults aged 62 and older, located blocks from community amenities, retail, and the Fort Totten Metrorail Station. The community will create 52 apartments for residents with incomes at or below 30% of the Median Family Income (MFI) and 41 apartments for residents at or below 50% of MFI.
Riggs Crossing is the product of a partnership with EYA LLC, the developer of the adjacent Riggs Park Place townhome community. “The regional need for affordable homes is only growing,” said APAH president and CEO Carmen Romero. “APAH’s goal is to create more homes and provide supportive programming that empowers residents.”
