Alexandria Housing Development Corporation

Our Mission: We develop and preserve quality housing that is affordablein the City of Alexandria and support our residents to thrive as a member of the community.

Our History: AHDC was born from a request from then-Councilman William Euille and Councilwoman Joyce Woodson to Alexandria city staff for a plan of action to address the City's affordable housing needs. In April of 2003, Mildrilyn Davis, Director of the Office of Housing, and Phil Sunderland, City Manager, responded with a memorandum detailing the establishment of a new non-profit housing corporation. This plan anticipated city involvement in the creation and initial establishment of the corporation, but without direct oversight of its activities. In January of 2004, the City Council named five incorporators to form the corporation and oversee its initial setup and AHDC was incorporated in May of that same year.

Our major projects:

The Station at Potomac Yard - an award-winning affordable housing project built on top of Alexandria's newest fire station.

Arbelo-Lacy Court-Longview Terrace - three well-built older apartment communities which we are rehabilitating and preserving as quality affordable housing.
