The 11th Street Bridge Park’s (Bridge Park) Ward 8 Home Buyers Club is a unique program that was initiated in response to our community’s identification of home ownership as a key priority, as outlined in the Bridge Park’s Equitable Development Plan. In 2015, the Bridge Park formed a partnership with MANNA Housing to fund a new chapter of their successful Home Buyers Club for residents living east of the Anacostia River, particularly in Ward 8.
Closing Cost Assistance Program Application Process will begin late May 2022.
