Mayor Bowser Cuts the Ribbon on The Ana Townhomes in Anacostia

Mayor Muriel Bowser inaugurated The Ana Townhomes in Ward 8, featuring 20 family-sized townhomes, with six units designated for affordable housing aimed at households earning between 50% and 80% of the Median Family Income. The project received a $1. 6 million investment from the DC Housing Finance Agency's Housing Investment Platform, which collaborates with developers to create affordable homeownership opportunities. Bowser highlighted the significance of addressing the needs of residents often referred to as "The Missing Middle," who struggle with limited affordable housing options. The development revitalizes a previously vacant lot, enhancing community resources and providing homes near public transportation.

Each townhome includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a one-car garage, averaging 1,800 square feet. Bowser's administration has committed over $1. 4 billion to affordable housing initiatives and plans to invest an additional $100 million in her FY26 Budget. This project underscores her ongoing commitment to ensure that DC remains a desirable place for families to live and thrive. The Ana Townhomes exemplify efforts to create sustainable, affordable housing solutions in the District.
