Based on land availability, recent development activity, planning policies, and regional growth trends, significant growth is expected during the next 20 years. The planning area is expected to grow from about 22,800 households in 2005 to 30,100 households in 2025, an increase of about 32 percent. By 2025, the area is expected to have a population of almost 82,000. While this is still fewer residents than the area had during the peak years of the 1950s, it marks a major turnaround after five decades of decline. The projections assume that vacant and abandoned housing units in the Planning Area will be refurbished or replaced, and that new units will be developed on vacant and underutilized sites. 1806.1
A period of sustained growth in the Planning Area has already started. Between 2000 and 2005, an astonishing 8,000 units of housing have been constructed or rehabilitated, including more than 1,000 new units in HOPE VI projects at the former Stanton Dwellings, Frederick Douglass Homes and Valley Green public housing developments. Future housing development is expected around the Anacostia and Congress Heights Metro stations, on the East Campus of St. Elizabeths Campus, at the now vacant Sheridan Terrace housing complex, and at Barry Farm. Infill development is also expected along Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, South Capitol Street, and on scattered vacant sites. 1806.2
Approximately 6,000 additional jobs are forecast in the Planning Area during the next two decades. Future job centers include St. Elizabeths, DC Village, and the Anacostia Metrorail Station and Gateway areas. 11806.3
