[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quibble Dribble. Those projects aren't going away anytime soon and there are lots. My understanding is DC wantsto build a low-income apt buipding on 4th Street just north of the DCRA building.[/quote]

That is 100% untrue.  The building under construction north of the office of taxation and revenue will be 100% market rate.  Any other building in SW currently in the planning or financing stages has at most about 8% affordable units with "affordable" generally defined as 80% of AMI...or over $80,000 a year in household income.

DCHA is working on a plan for Greenleaf that would include the  same number of public housing units but 2-3 times that number of workforce and market-rate units.

Also, I don't know why everyone is freaked out that Jefferson has kids who live in public housing going there.  Jefferson students are making more progress than the DC average and most of them are scoring proficient or advanced on the CAS.  The test scores do not show that Stuart-Hobson is actually better at teaching kids.  It just happens to have about 40 more white kids and a few dozen with incomes that don't qualify them for free lunch.  [/quote]
