Barry Farm

America is facing an affordable housing crisis. In Washington, D.C., 70,000 families are on a closed waiting list to receive affordable housing. Some have waited over 25 years, yet affordable, public housing such as Barry Farm continues to be demolished. Today the neighborhood is set to be torn down and redeveloped into mixed-income housing under the 2005 New Communities Initiative, leaving resident families in limbo. This selection is part of a larger body of work called Barry Farm, a multimedia project that documents the impacts of D.C.'s gentrification and the thriving community Barry Farm residents have created for themselves despite their uncertain futures.
