Great jobs, great schools and an unbeatable location make Arlington a desirable community. However, this high demand puts increasing pressure on families, the elderly, persons with disabilities and others with limited financial resources to keep pace with increasing housing costs. The County’s commitment to Affordable Housing helps to address this challenge.

We support affordable housing by:

• Providing financing and zoning incentives for developers
• Working with local non-profits that finance and develop affordable housing
• Providing rental assistance to low-income families
