[quote=Anonymous]Actually---gauging the impact on local schools should be a factor in DCHA's deciding whether to approve low-income housing projects, since a high percentage of FARMs students has a negative impact on the school. (Yes, there are those rare schools that do an exemplary job with high FARMs students but those are the exceptions---not the rule---despite the TFA kool-aid.). There are a variety of different types of affordable housing---very low income, moderate income, etc. To my knowledge, there is NO consideration of the impact on the local ES when it comes to DCHA's approving low income tax credit financing and other affordable housing supports. But instead of approving projects on a one-off basis, DCHA should be looking at how many very low income buildings, moderate income, etc. buildings are already within the school's catchment area.
