AFFORDABLE HOUSING: 87 New Luxury Apartments Available in North Old Town
Alexandria Housing Development Corporation Announces Pre-Leasing of The Bloom
ALEXANDRIA, VA – According to a press release sent out by Alexandria Housing Development Corporation (AHDC) this morning, the new luxury apartment building called The Bloom will begin accepting pre-leasing waitlist applications for the 87 units set aside for affordable housing on July 13, 2020 through July 19, 2020.
About the Bloom/Units available at The Bloom
Units/sizes: The Bloom is renting 87 units to the public. Units are reserved for households making up to a certain percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI). (The remaining 10 housing units in The Bloom are held in partnership with Carpenter’s Shelter as a part of their New Heights Redevelopment.) The unit breakdown is as follows:
A 1-Bedroom unit can hold 1-2 people. A 2-Bedroom unit can hold 2-4 people. A 3-bedroom unit can hold 3-6 people.
Income and Rent: The following are the 2020 income and rent limits based on nearby AHDC properties, and are subject to change. Income maximums and allowable rents are determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Actual rent may be lower than maximum allowable rent. AHDC will post anticipated actual rents when available. The Bloom will accept Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8).
HDC is an Equal Housing Opportunity provider.
To facilitate this affordable housing opportunity, AHDC partnered with the Carpenter’s Shelter, who will share the building with The Bloom. In addition to the 87 units being provided by AHDC, ten units will be rented to formerly homeless individuals who will receive services from Carpenter’s Shelter. The City of Alexandria provided loan funds to assist in financing this development project.
AHDC anticipates that move-ins will begin in October 2020, with new units becoming available weekly, as construction allows.
