Harvard Court
Harvard Court is a 108-unit affordable housing development currently under construction on the former Columbia Heights Village (CHV) parking lot. The project is being developed through a partnership between The NHP Foundation (NHPF) and the Columbia Heights Village Tenants Association (CHVTA).
Financing includes 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), DC LIHTC, tax-exempt bonds, soft funding from the DC Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF), and operating subsidies through the Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP).
The development will provide 108 affordable housing units, including 22 units (20%) reserved for households earning up to 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), supported by LRSP subsidies. The remaining 86 units (80%) will be designated for residents earning up to 50% of AMI.
This project aligns with our mission to promote a strong and diverse community through the stewardship of quality affordable housing and supportive services. It also advances our commitment to empowering low- and moderate-income residents in Washington, D.C.’s Columbia Heights neighborhood as they pursue greater self-sufficiency. Harvard Court represents a significant addition to the neighborhood’s affordable housing inventory and helps ensure that low-income residents continue to have a meaningful place within the community.
