Dance Loft on 14, approved three years ago, is an exciting Ward 4 mixed-use development that includes affordable housing, a performing arts center, retail space, and net-zero energy design. But it encountered delays due to the city’s unprecedented crisis in affordable housing funding.

After three years of financial limbo caused by DC’s affordable housing funding crisis, Dance Loft on 14’s exciting mixed-use development in Ward 4 finally has a path forward. But it needs ANC 4E’s support to get there, and the commissioners who will decide its fate weren’t in office when the project was originally approved.

Supporters urge ANC 4E to endorse modifications to advance project at crucial Tuesday vote.

On January 22, 2026, we talked to leading housing experts about the relationship between housing production and affordability, and explored policy tools to provide stable, affordable housing across a range of incomes. This was the third webinar in our series on our region’s housing needs, and how researchers, policymakers, and advocates can work together towards solutions.
