Background Information:
The Alliance for Housing Solution is a non-profit here in Arlington that does advocacy, policy, and public education around housing issues.
We are working on our Missing Middle Housing Initiative, in collaboration with the Lee Highway Alliance (since they are working on a visioning process and re-zoning effort much like we did on the Pike several years ago).
We are working together to support the County’s Missing Middle Study.
Here is a link to the County Study:
The County staff is doing presentations at various civic associations and we are two of their Community Partners, helping get the word out about the Study and encouraging residents to inform themselves about what MM Housing types are and how they might be of use to bring balance and options to our (inadequate) housing supply.
Here is where any individual or group, such as a civic association, can sign up to be a Community Partner as well:
Here, also, is the AHS/LHA joint website on Missing Middle Housing:
And this is our 2-minute video explaining Missing Middle:

Members may have heard of the Race and Housing video we produced last fall. It is a 7-minute video with lots of great history about Arlington neighborhoods near Columbia Heights that folks may find interesting:
