City Council discussed an ambitious draft housing affordability plan for the Chirilagua neighborhood and its majority Hispanic residents that would expand access to deeply affordable housing during the Tuesday legislative meeting.
The city’s growing need for affordable housing has been a topic of conversation on the City Council dais for years, with councilors stressing the need to keep Alexandria livable for its lower income residents. The plan presented by city staff on Tuesday targets the Arlandria/Chirilagua neighborhood in an attempt to not only increase the city’s affordable housing stock but preserve the neighborhood’s cultural identity, according to staff.
