St. Martin’s Catholic Church has been serving the spiritual and community needs of Ward 5 residents for more than 100 years. An extension of this historic service is the provision of workforce housing for working families and individuals who are contributing to the fabric of the District’s economic life. To this end, we’ve joined with Catholic Community Services (CCS) in proposing to build a $28 million, 184 unit workforce and affordable housing complex, St. Martin’s Apartments, on land we own at T and Summit Streets NE. We need the community to support St. Martin’s Apartments, as we labor to bring quality workforce housing to the District.

● 134 one and two bedroom apartments that will rent between $869 and $1,039 per month

● 50 Jr. one-bedroom apartments that will rent for about $500 per month

● 120-130 underground parking spaces, tree lined courtyard and community meeting spaces

● Upscale design, quality construction, and improved lighting and landscaping.

● Working families, parents, children, retirees, etc.

● Working adults (private school teachers, government employees, fire cadets, library aides, nonprofit and social services agency employees, hospital employees, tourism, hotel, restaurant workers, etc.)

● St. Martin’s and CCS are awaiting approval of its application for financing from DHCD.

● St. Martin’s and CCS submitted an application for a Planned Unit Development to the Office of Planning

● The Office of Planning makes its recommendation to Zoning Commission.

● The Zoning Commission holds a public hearing on the development

● Housing for working families and residents of diverse income levels

● Jobs for District residents

● Contracting opportunities for District local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises
