It is short for "housing unit". The existing housing on Andersen Lane consists of a combination of 6 single family houses and 6 buildings with 2, 3 or 4 apartments. Units happens to be one of the few terms that I can think of that easily allows counting both. BTW I have seen criticism in the other direction for refering to something like "newly built homes" rather than "newly built houses" (they only become homes when they are occupied appropriately). >Has a similar attitude befallen WCG?
