Nine-unit Condo: Habitat for Humanity’s Newest Project in Northern Virginia

The non-profit developer renowned for building single-family houses through volunteering has completed a nine-unit condominium, its newest project in Northern Virginia.

Families who are to become condominium owners in Madison Ridge are the second batch of “partner families” to benefit from the low-cost housing project, next to families who settled in the 12-unit building in Westbrook Forest, Habitat for Humanity’s first NV project. All 12 units  of housing were part of a 50-year-old Arlington apartment complex, known to area residents as the Perry S. Hall Apartments, converted into low-income housing.

Habitat’s goal of building new homes is an ongoing project. There’s going to be a third construction planned for southern Arlington County to provide other deserving families of decent and affordable housing.

Applying for a Habitat for Humanity House is open to families regardless of race nor religion although there are factors used in selecting partner families: level of need, willingness to become partners in the program, ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest loan. There are local Habitat affiliates all throughout D.C.that can assist you with the application. You can also use Habitat’s online search tool.
