• Lost: 13,500 affordable rental homes between 2000 and 2013, mostly to rent increases

• In 2000, 26% of all housing stock was affordable. In 2013, 9% of all housing stock was affordable

• CAFs: provide quality, affordable homes, reduce stress and turnover, stabilize families

• New CAF units help replace lost affordable homes

Historic Issues- Existing Queens Court structures listed as “Important” on County’s

Historic Resources Inventory (HRI).

- WRAP recommends that historic elements of existing structures should be “incorporated, either directly or in an interpretive manner, into the new development that occurs” at Queens Court.

- This is being addressed through elements of the proposed building.
