Upper Class Subsidized Housing
Nothing surprising here if you consider, know and believe that what government does, it does badly. Just like welfare recipients riding around in new Cadillacs.
Some in Fairfax Public Housing Make Six Figures
Hundreds of families living in housing subsidized by Fairfax County taxpayers exceed income caps designed to ensure that only the neediest receive assistance, a review of county records shows.
In the most extreme cases, Fairfax is underwriting rents for families making well into six figures: One household getting help makes more than $216,000 a year; another, $184,000. Dozens of others — making $60,000, $70,000, $90,000 — exceed eligibility caps. And they do so with the tacit approval of county housing administrators, who do little to encourage occupants to move on when their fortunes improve.
These tenants live in housing intended for families at the bottom of the county’s economic spectrum. They are in the federally subsidized public housing program, the Fairfax rental program and the county’s senior housing program. The county’s Department of Housing and Community Development will spend about $4.5 million this year running these programs.
