Longtime Falls Church affordable housing advocate and Affordable Housing Development Corporation director Carol Jackson announced to a wide circle of friends and associates this week that she will be retiring from her position as of June 30, and that she and her husband, Charlie, will immediately move their home to Charleston, South Carolina.

“Charlie and I have long hoped, and more recently planned, to settle there into our active retirement years,” Jackson wrote. “Mid-2015 is much earlier than we have been thinking about. Nevertheless, the time is right.”
