Ocean City’s public housing agency announced Tuesday that it expects to start construction April 1 on a long-awaited project providing affordable housing for senior citizens who are now living in a flood-prone area of town.

Jacqueline Jones, the housing authority’s executive director, said construction is expected to take about 12 months to complete.
