Based on the agreement signed by county officials, 900 affordable house units will be built in future in Columbia downtown, including 400 affordable units dispersed in market-rate buildings; 417 units in tax credit projects; and 83 units through a live-where-you-work program. Thus I have the following request:
1. Could you please provide the projected number of (school-age) children/household in all kinds of affordable housing in downtown Columbia? If you have total (school-age) children numbers and total housing unit numbers, that works for me.
2. If you do not have such data from Columbia downtown, could you please provide (school-age) children numbers/household from other parts of Howard County or even Maryland State?
3. Is it possible to provide me the references in order to help me understand the numbers?
Here is the link for the report from Baltimore Sun for your reference:

Thanks a lot for your help!
Please note the School Planning Office, which studies housing county-wide for school planning purposes, does not have information on units identified as affordable housing, nor do they identify housing in downtown Columbia as a geographic area for planning purposes.
HCPSS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, school polygons and attendance areas are subject to change. Please be mindful when comparing data as many variances can occur between reports based on date pulled, categories included, etc. The user of this data accepts full liability for any use of the data. For any questions regarding the data or concerns about the planning process, please contact the Office of School Planning at 410-313-7184 or SchoolPlanning@hcpss.org.
