Change is coming rapidly to DC neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River, and Anacostia in particular has seen rapidly-rising housing prices. The newly-designed 11th Street Bridge Park, almost certain to become a city-wide attraction like New York City’s High Line, is also likely to further increase land and housing prices in the area.
In anticipation of this, a group of nonprofit organizations is working to prevent displacement in the neighborhood as it continues to grow with a tool used rather infrequently in the region: a community land trust.
