Welcome to The Baldwin.
We are located at the intersection of past and present, at the corner of 13th and H Streets NE. Rich in history, our site once housed a popular DC public library, and was a hub of local community activity. With The Baldwin, this important urban corner enters its next chapter in neighborhood history by providing a 100% affordable housing community.
The Baldwin’s exceptional architecture does justice to the vibrant fabric of the thriving H Street corridor, a dynamic one-and-a-half mile stretch in Northeast DC. Residents can choose from an appealing mix of Studio, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom units. The neighborhood is known for its hip arts scene, vibrant nightlife, eclectic restaurants, pop-ups, festivals and communal atmosphere. The Baldwin is located less than two miles from DC’s premier multimodal transportation hub, Union Station, and is serviced by the X1 Metro Bus line, a Capital Bikeshare station, and a DC Street Car stop right outside. The Baldwin embodies the very best of livable, walkable urban life!
This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests The Baldwin does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
