The evening begins at 6:45pm with a presentation from Samia Byrd, Director, Community Planning, Housing and Development, on the historical factors that have shaped Arlington’s current affordability challenges, followed by the main conversation at 7:00pm.
Arlington’s neighborhoods are vibrant, but rising housing costs and limited options make it difficult for many residents of all ages to stay. This program takes a closer look at what makes housing truly affordable, from market-rate and committed affordable to deeply affordable homes, and explores the impact of affordability in our community.
Hear from experts about approaches that reflect Arlington’s needs, and explore the costs, challenges, and partnerships that define affordability in practice.
At 8:00 PM, we will host a brief after-hours session to address additional questions about how Ranked Choice Voting works and its impact on the local County Board election.
