New Development in Ivy City
Ivy City Streetscape with a Rendering of a DC Habitat Home
In October of 2010, coinciding with the annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project, DC Habitat launched its newest development – construction of affordable homes in Ivy City.
DC Habitat is one of three developers that were awarded land grants from the District, along with funds from the first round of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, to produce more than 50 units of mixed income housing in the Ivy City community of Northeast Washington. We plan to complete at least 28 homes in this neighborhood, including a mix of new construction and rehab properties.
“We’re pleased to join forces with our city government and other developers to advance revitalization in the Ivy City community,” said D.C. Habitat President Kent Adcock. “Thanks to the support of DHCD and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, we were able to break ground in 2010.”

Though we’ve already secured generous support from several partners in the DC area, we are seeking additional sponsors to help fund this vital project. For more information on house sponsorship, please contact Richard Algra, Development Director, by email at: Richard.Algra@dchabitat.org.
