The purpose of The Special Committee on Affordable and Workforce Housing is to undertake housing studies and utilize its findings to develop a series of recommendations, which may provide some solutions to the housing crisis in Fairfax County. The Committee will develop a comprehensive definition of workforce housing, establish an action item agenda to include the estimates of the current and projected supply and demand of workforce housing units and evaluate the geographic distribution of housing. The Committee will evaluate market-based best practices for workforce housing and consider matters of planning and land use policies of our state and local government and provide recommendations that address options to assist local government in ensuring workforce housing availability. The mission also includes the development of strategies to promote new rental and ownership housing opportunities. This will be accomplished through the evaluation of various programs and incentives which encourage the aforementioned expansion of affordable and workforce housing in the County. The Committee will work toward the implementation of its recommendations. The committee will identify as part of its mission certain key areas of study in order to accommodate workable and appropriate recommendations.
