Arlington, VA., September 19, 2007 – The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) will celebrate the renovation of its latest acquisition, Courthouse Crossings Apartments, with a special grand opening ceremony on Tuesday, September 25 from 4 pm – 6 pm. Virginia and Arlington County officials, residents and neighbors will join the grand opening ceremony at Courthouse Crossings at 1220 North Scott Street.
APAH’s purchase of the 112-unit complex in May 2006 achieved a goal set by its founders when the nonprofit was formed in 1989. With the support of Arlington County and the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), APAH secured the $34 million necessary to purchase, renovate and preserve affordable housing at the fifteen-year-old property. As a result, APAH was able to expand affordability at the complex and make every apartment affordable to households earning $35,000 to $55,000 annually.
APAH is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to exclusively providing quality, sustainable affordable housing in Arlington County and it provides 514 affordable homes in 9 locations. For more information on the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing, visit them online at www.apah.org.
