FCRHA Authorizes Partnership with Office to Prevent and End Homelessness
15 Units Provided to People who are Homeless or At- Risk of Being Homeless
The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) recently authorized a new partnership with the Fairfax County Office to Prevent and End Homelessness (OPEH). The partnership calls for the leasing of 15 units at Wedgewood Apartments to persons who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. These units will be used to provide residents with stable housing as they work with OPEH to develop and maintain skills enabling them to become more self-sufficient and remain in permanent housing.
Wedgewood Apartments, located in the Mason District and purchased by the Board of Supervisors in November 2007, is leased to the FCRHA and operated under the Fairfax County Rental Program. Locating and securing affordable housing is a critical need identified in Fairfax County’s 10-Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. This partnership, governed by a Memorandum of Understanding, gives individuals and families an opportunity to have affordable and stable housing consistent with both the 10-Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness and the Housing Blueprint.

“The Residences at Government Center” Takes Another Step Forward
FCRHA Authorizes Bonds to Help Finance Construction of New Affordable Housing Community
The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) authorized, subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds not to exceed $29 million for the purpose of financing the construction of the 270-unit multifamily housing development known as The Residences at Government Center. This innovative public-private partnership project will be built on the campus of the Government Center in the Braddock District, and will include green buildings; low-impact and sustainable design features; and amenities such as garage parking and fitness and children’s play areas. The community will also be connected to the adjacent Government Center by a trail system.
Fairfax County, using no cash of its own, will leverage an investment of $55 million by the developer, Jefferson Apartment Group, through a long-term ground lease of the 8.9 acre county-owned site. The Residences at Government Center received joint recognition by the Washington Smart Growth Alliance and the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing for its innovative approach to providing workforce housing.
