New Affordable Housing Community Opens In Prince George's County

PRINDE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Woodyard Station, a new affordable housing community in Clinton, has opened with multi-family and senior residences.

Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development provided $3 million in HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding and a Payment in Lieu of Taxes to help bring this project to fruition. HOME funding helps make it possible for low-and moderate-income families to live in brand-new construction developments with modern amenities.

“We are Prince George’s Proud to officially welcome Woodyard Station to our county and provide yet another affordable, high quality, senior and multi-family housing opportunity for our residents,” said Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. “We know that housing diversity builds strong neighborhoods, and this new development further showcases our continued commitment to preserving housing affordability and diversifying our housing stock. Ensuring equitable growth and the creation of quality affordable housing is a cornerstone of our Administration’s economic development platform, and we are excited to deliver on our promises and help improve the quality of life for all Prince Georgians.”

Woodyard Station has two buildings, a multi-family apartment complex and a senior living building. The multi-family building has 46 units with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and the senior building has 112 units with a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments. Both buildings feature a cybercafé, a community room with kitchenette, game room, and on-site laundry units on multiple floors.

“Public-private partnerships with mission-driven developers, the state of Maryland and financial institutions are essential to increasing high quality, affordable housing options for County residents,” said Aspasia Xypolia, director of the Prince George’s County Department of Housing and Community Development. “We are happy to partner with a development team that had the poise to turn the Woodyard Station vision to reality and offer new affordable housing opportunities for Prince Georgians.”
