The City of Alexandria Office of Housing has partnered with Southern Towers Apartments to provide prospective residents with Committed Affordable Units (CAUs) at the property. These affordable apartment homes consist of efficiencies and one-bedroom units, with rents that include all utilities.

According to the announcement, an efficiency unit is priced at $1,451 per month, while a one-bedroom unit is available for $1,696 per month. Interested individuals can access the online application in English, Spanish, or Amharic. For those who prefer a paper application, they can request one to be mailed to them by contacting Virginia Patton, Housing Program Manager, at virginia.patton@alexandriava.gov or 703.746.3083.

To be considered for the program, applicants must provide three months' verification of income, which should be at least twice the rent of the chosen unit. Once the Office of Housing approves an application, it will be forwarded to the Southern Towers Apartments Leasing Office for rental background checks and final approval.
