The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing landed a $25,000 grant from the Citi Foundation
for phase one of it's Queens Court Predevelopment Project.
APAH plans to redevelop the 39-unit affordable apartment complex and add a new school, fire
station, park space, at least 100 new affordable units and some market-rate apartments to six acres
near the Rosslyn Metro station.
The group will partner with Arlington County Schools, the Arlington Fire Department, the county
and Stuart H. Miller Co./BPG Properties.
Citi Foundation proposals are by invitation only - the group only selects organizations with
"demonstrated successes in [Citi Foundation's] outlined focus areas," which include microfinance
and microenterprise, small and growing businesses, education, financial education and asset building,
community development and environment.
