Riggs Crossing Groundbreaking Event in Washington, DC
“Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) celebrated the groundbreaking of Riggs Crossing Senior Residences (Riggs Crossing), 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. Ten apartments are designated for Permanent Supportive Housing, with services provided by Jaydot. This mix of unit types will address the growing need for deeply affordable homes in the region.”
Here are some photos I photographed of this event that were used on APAH’s website and in their social media posts:
