Subsidized Housing in DC Is Disproportionately Located East of the Anacostia River

DC affordable housing production in recent years has focused in the city's low-income neighborhoods—areas largely east of the Anacostia River.

On the other hand, areas west of Rock Creek Park have had few affordable units added.

IZ has focused new affordable units downtown, but only ~300 unit/yr.

A correction here: The new D.C. Council subcommittee that will be chaired by Felder will oversee small and local business development policy, business improvement districts, and stadium development at RFK (except for planning, zoning, and permitting).
