Alexandria to receive more than $6 million in federal funding for housing, health care
Hopkins House, Ladrey Apartments and Neighborhood Health among 78 Virginia projects in bipartisan spending package
Three Alexandria projects will receive a combined $6.02 million in federal funding as part of a bipartisan spending package passed by Congress, U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine announced.
The funding, part of a broader $93.3 million package for 78 community projects across Virginia, targets housing and health care access in the city.
Hopkins House will receive the largest Alexandria allocation at $2.5 million to build a community space offering economic security, early learning and housing stability programs for public housing residents. The organization’s mission centers on helping families break the cycle of generational poverty.
The Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority will receive $2 million to revitalize the Ladrey Apartments, a 170-unit public housing community.
Neighborhood Health, which serves low-income residents, will receive roughly $1.5 million to expand access to health care services at its Alexandria facility.
The projects are part of the congressionally directed spending process, which allows members of Congress to request funding for local community priorities. The five-bill package funds defense, financial services, labor, health, education, transportation and housing programs for fiscal year 2026.
“I’m proud to provide over $93 million to 78 critical community projects across Virginia that support affordable housing, expanded health care access, transportation safety and modernization, and job entry and development programs,” Warner said in a statement.
Nearby, Arlington will receive $1.18 million for affordable rental homes, while Fairfax County projects include $3.15 million for transportation safety improvements in Springfield, $850,000 for a youth behavioral health crisis facility and $550,000 for a new medical clinic near Bailey’s Crossroads.
The funding is in addition to $112.14 million in federal funding the senators previously secured for Virginia projects as part of other government funding legislation.
