New multifamily housing is coming to Hickory Ridge in Columbia.

Mission First Housing Group, in partnership with the Howard County Housing Commission and the Autism Society of Maryland, is set to start work on a 76-unit affordable apartment community for adults with disabilities, older adults and families in Columbia.
