Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley said Monday that once completed, those projects could be a model for future public housing development around the nation.


“Our housing will be some of the best in the country, because it will be in an amazing spot like this,” Buckley said. “I’m excited to sit on someone’s balcony when it gets done, look out at this amazing place that we live in, and get to know it’s not just for millionaires to enjoy that.”


HACA board member Jacqueline Wells, who’s lived in a housing authority property for more than 20 years, said she felt relieved after Monday’s funding announcement.


Wells said she hopes the organization can reset and provide residents with an improved quality of life. She and other board members and residents have been hard at work advocating for one another, she said, and praying for resolution.


“We have been through some things,” Wells said. “It’s time, it’s time.”
