[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think teachers are living in AH but I feel like there is a lot of misconception about how much teachers make. There are teachers in Arlington that make less than 64K. In fact, in 2016, the average salary at Discovery Elementary was 63K (given that it is a newer school with less veteran teachers). That makes a fair share of teachers there are making under 63K.

Anyway, again I don't think AH is full of teachers but there are plenty of teachers who would qualify.

In theory, an unmarried teacher who doesn't have a summer or side gig might qualify. But they would not live in a CAF of hundreds of units of AH. Do not, would not. Neither would police, firefighers, or other low-paid professional class individual, like new college grads in white collar jobs. Also, the waitlists are ranked in order of need. There are far too many people with enormous need and section 8 vouchers that help them afford the 60-80% ami units for there to be space for upwardly mobile professionals who qualify, in theory.
