• Affordable Housing project in Green Valley: 

Discuss sending a letter to County Board and APS in opposition to this project, as it will create an influx of low-income children at Drew Elementary School, our neighborhood school. Drew currently has a 63% FRL rate (free and reduced lunch, the metric used to measure the number of low-income students), making it the 3rd highest FRL % school in Arlington. At only 65% current capacity, there are a lot of seats left to fill.
Green Valley has provided further analysis in opposition of this project on their website: Issues — Green Valley Neighborhood Arlington County, VA Affordable Housing. We have reached out to their President to offer support from CHCA to oppose this project and the negative impact that it would have on Drew.
