Mayor Bowser to Cut the Ribbon on The Ana Townhomes in Anacostia

(Washington, DC) - On Friday, September 12 at 11 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser and community members will celebrate the ribbon cutting of The Ana Townhomes, a new, family-sized townhome community in Ward 8, just steps from the Anacostia Metro Station. The 20-unit Ana Townhomes represents a major investment in affordable homeownership, with most units targeted toward workforce housing, and six units designated for households earning between 50% and 80% of the Median Family Income. The project was made possible through a $1.6 million investment from the DC Housing Finance Agency's Housing Investment Platform.

The Ana Townhomes continue Mayor Bowser's commitment to building affordable housing and creating affordable homeownership opportunities. In her ten years as mayor, Mayor Bowser has invested over $1.4 billion in the Housing Production Trust Fund, and her FY26 Budget, Grow DC, includes an additional $100 million. These and other investments are part of the Mayor's Growth Agenda for DC, which is dedicated to ensuring the District remains a great place to live, work, and do business.
