New Affordable Housing for Seniors Underway

Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development Is Planning For Three Senior Housing Communities

DHCD is highlighting three senior housing communities currently in development:  Homes at Oxon Hill, The Residences at Springbrook in Clinton, and The Lewis, in Suitland. Preserving housing affordability is a top commitment in the county and as County Executive Angela Alsobrooks has said, “We do not get to have quality economic development without affordable housing. Our key economic development goals for growing jobs and the commercial tax base must be anchored by infrastructure that serves a range of household incomes, especially around transit-oriented development opportunities. Prince George’s County is growing, and it is important to make the right choices now. Some of these choices include housing that is affordable for seniors.”

Seniors are an essential part of the fabric of Prince George’s County and developing housing that is affordable will allow them to remain in the County and in their communities. By utilizing HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds, the Housing Investment Trust Fund and Payment in Lieu of Taxes programs, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is offering seniors access to much-needed affordable housing.

“We are delighted to present these new and wonderful apartment communities for County seniors,” said Aspasia Xypolia, Director of the Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development. “We continue to work closely with residents, community-based organizations, and housing advocacy groups to identify the right balance of programs and opportunities to deliver upon our housing goals and to turn these shared visions into realities for our community.”
