Arlington’s Missing Middle Housing Study: Expanding Housing Choice has entered Phase 2, which examines a variety of housing types. Phase 2 includes a draft policy Framework and new opportunities for community engagement. The Alliance for Housing Solutions supports additional Missing Middle Housing in Arlington and believes it is an important part of making housing more financially attainable throughout our community.

The Phase 2 Draft Framework objectives include:
More housing options for more people at more income levels and in more stages of life
More housing types distributed throughout Arlington
More equitable housing options
