“We strongly believe that everyone should have a home to go to in the evening,” said Stakem. “We believe it is right and fair.” April is Fair Housing Month and the Board of Supervisors has scheduled several public hearings and workshops during the month of April. Supervisors have an opportunity to honor Fair Housing Month by supporting increased residential development, varied in type and price, and available for both rental and homeownership.
Loudoun 2040 includes goals and strategies designed to provide a diverse housing stock to meet changing needs. The Plan also includes increased density in the Suburban Policy Area and creates a new Urban Policy Area. These areas are intended to accommodate a large share of the housing needed in the County.
“Not everyone will want to live in an apartment or condo near the metro,” said Henriksen. “As our resident’s needs change and their families grow, they will want to live in larger homes.” The Transition Policy Area is identified as an area that can accommodate and address the need for single-family housing.
