The Housing Authority of the City of Frederick (HACF) has been recognized for its exceptional work in affordable housing preservation. A ceremony hosted by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), HACF was presented with the prestigious Excellence in Affordable Housing Preservation award for their development, Catoctin View.

This esteemed recognition celebrates HACF’s outstanding efforts in developing Catoctin View, an affordable housing community located at 800 Motter Ave in Frederick, Maryland. The award was presented to E. Kevin Lollar, Executive Director, and Angie Lollar, Director of Economic Development for HACF, by Maryland DHCD Secretary Jake Day and Assistant Secretary Greg Hare.

In addition to this prestigious award, Catoctin View and the dedicated development team have garnered several other notable accolades. The 2022 Frederick County Building Industry Association Awards of Excellence recognized Miner Feinstein Architects for their outstanding work in the category of Best Multi-Family Remodel. This acknowledgment further exemplifies the commitment to excellence exhibited throughout the development process.

Moreover, Catoctin View has achieved the Enterprise Green Communities Certification. This certification recognizes properties that are designed and developed with a focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. By meeting the criteria set forth by Enterprise Green Communities (EGC), Catoctin View promotes a healthier environment through reduced resource consumption, waste generation, and the use of fewer toxic materials.
