Those kind of efforts are an uphill battle. Most private apartment complexes that accept vouchers usually end up changing their policies after accepting subsidized tenants because of cases where damage done to the apartment far exceeds that of a tenant that’s employed and paying for the unit.

Your heart is in the right place, and you’re right about the problems of concentrated poverty, as you put it so well. That type of solution would introduce a lot of new problems to be worked out

Otherwise though I like your idea and the intentions behind it

Great, we love the giant ass projects near Church Hill, no need for other areas of the cities to experience the joy.

Get out of your neighborhood a bit. Other areas of the city do experience the joy. Living next to any of the private apartment complexes in RVA that accept vouchers is no different than living next to a RRHA property
