In addition a host of leading community voices spoke including Jackie Arguelles, Chair of Commission on the Aging; Robert Moore, Executive Director, Development Corp. of Columbia Heights; Dick Jones, former Chairman, 14th Street Project Area Committee; and Lori M.

Hubbard Place' financing is HUD/FHA insured under Sections 223(a)(7)/221(d)(4) M. Recognition goes to the HUD DC Field Office for coordinating the processing and approval of the transfer of assets and new ownership. In line with HUD's goal of promoting Transit-Oriented Development Projects (http://www.huduser.org/Publications/pdf/better_coordination.pdf) - Hubbard Place is within walking distance of the Columbia Heights metro station (on a major bus route) and major amenities including grocery and retail; restaurants and bars; health and wellness centers; mixed-use property (the building includes units for residential and commercial use) - The Black Lion convenient store and George's Shoe Repair Shop are located at the 14th Street entrance of the property.
The Hubbard Place goal is to keep these units affordable for low and moderate income individuals and families is in line with HUD's mission to maintain safe affordable housing and promote mixed-income communities - The Columbia Heights area has become one of the hottest real estate markets in DC and has seen significant gentrification as development has progressed in the area.
In addition, consistent with the goals of HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development, Hubbard Place promotes community building through citizen participation and partnerships. The Community Services Board, which consists of the Tenant Association and ownership, is collaborating to offer an array of services for the community such as after school programs, training/mentoring, youth leadership development and recreational activities. The grand ribbon cutting ceremony, which was covered by local television and print media, reinforces the community spirit to work collectively and enjoy the benefits of a true renaissance in the Columbia Heights Community.
