the term "affordable housing' would indicate Federal or State funded subsidies will cover at least aportion of the monthly rent.
Will physically able residents be required to provide some payback for the subsidies?
Will they be required to perform yardwork; gardening; or common area janitorial clean up?
It only seems fair, if you truly want to have pride in residency, that you would put forth some effort and help the WHA budget. In fact, if the residents take over these types of chores, the savings might allow the WHA to provide even more subsidized housing units.
For that matter, I wonder if any current, physically able residents, in subsidized housing, put forth similar efforts?
And if they do not, why not? With all of the budget cuts being forced on everyone, it would seem only fair they might help out.
