Alexandria Housing Development Corporation

Alexandria Housing Development Corporation (AHDC), a private 501(c)3 non-profit, was born when the City Council recognized the need for a plan of action to address the City's affordable housing crisis. A citizen work group was formed to identify solutions - one of which was to establish an independent developer that would be exclusively dedicated to work on affordable housing solutions in Alexandria. As a result, in January 2004 the City Council named five incorporators to begin the work of AHDC. Since then, we have expanded our staff, space, and outreach, helping over 1,000 residents find a home in our city. AHDC currently has nine properties totaling 896 units. AHDC also manages an Alexandria Police Department Residential Officer Unit. We seek out opportunities and partnerships to create attractive and unique affordable properties, and we build quality, sustainable, and connected units that AHDC residents are proud to call home. We do this because we love Alexandria - and it deserves to be accessible to all.
