These homes are currently under construction and will be built to Enterprise Green Communities certification.

Glebe View Townhouses

Habitat DC-NOVA has joined a partnership with Fairfax Presbyterian Church (FPC), HomeAid National Capital Region, and HomeStretch to build redevelop a portion of the church’s parking lot into ten townhomes. FPC will provide the land through a long-term ground lease, HomeAid will provide no- to low-cost site work and materials, and Habitat DC-NOVA will be the primary builder. Eight of the townhomes will be sold affordably to families with low incomes through the Habitat homeownership program, and two homes will be sold to HomeStretch. HomeStretch will use the two units for their Sacred Homes program supporting families transitioning out of homelessness.

The 12 units will be a mix of 2- and 3-bedrooms.
