The resolution recognizes and honors the Townhomes on Capitol Hill as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Located in Ward 6, this mixed-income, limited equity cooperative community consists of 134 units and was established on a 5.6-acre site that previously housed the Ellen Wilson Dwellings, a public housing development that fell into disrepair and was closed in 1988. The transformation of the site into the Townhomes was made possible through community efforts, including a $25 million HOPE VI grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which aimed to revitalize public housing and create a safer, more cooperative living environment.

The resolution highlights the architectural design of the Townhomes, which blends with the surrounding Capitol Hill neighborhood, and acknowledges the community's achievements, including the establishment of the Frances Taylor Center for Community Life and the involvement of long-term residents who have contributed to the community's legacy. The Townhomes on Capitol Hill celebrated its anniversary with events that fostered community spirit, and the resolution serves to honor the dedication and planning of individuals who have made the cooperative a thriving place to live.
