Partnership Creates Green and Affordable Housing in D.C.

Colorful paint and bright tiger lilies liven up this historic Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Children’s laughter rings from the new community playground. And through partnerships and hard work, residents now enjoy a newly rehabbed, healthy, sustainable place to call home.
Galen Terrace didn’t look like this just a few years ago when the Section 8 housing project was beset with dilapidating conditions. A partnership between the Galen Terrace Tenants Association, Somerset Development Company and the National Housing Trust-Enterprise Preservation Corporation (NHT-Enterprise) created this green affordable housing complex.
And Galen Terrace is just one of many properties totaling more than 4,800 affordable apartments preserved nationwide by NHT-Enterprise.
A joint effort of the National Housing Trust and Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., NHT-Enterprise collaborates with local partners and investors to raise the capital necessary to buy and renovate affordable apartments that are at risk of being converted to market rate or are deteriorating.
“By safeguarding affordable homes, we improve the well-being of the families and seniors who call them home and reinvest in and strengthen neighborhoods,” said Michael Bodaken, president of the National Housing Trust. “We believe this is the essential first step in solving our nation's housing dilemma.”
Up next for NHT-Enterprise is a partnership with Hampstead Development Group to renovate R Street Apartments, another affordable housing complex in Washington, D.C. The complex, 124 affordable apartments in five historic buildings in the Logan Circle neighborhood, will receive significant improvements to remain affordable.
NHT-Enterprise funders include the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Fannie Mae’s Office of Community and Charitable Giving and the Freddie Mac Foundation.
