Submit Your Thoughts on the Draft Housing 2040 Principles and Goals by April 20

The City of Alexandria’s Office of Housing invites the community to provide feedback on the draft Principles and Goals developed to guide the Housing 2040 Master Plan (Housing 2040). The Principles and Goals are also available in Spanish; Amharic; Arabic; Dari; and Pashto. Input received will inform the development of the final Housing 2040 principles, goals, and recommendations. 

Please use our comment form to provide feedback on the draft Principles and Goals through April 20. To access the form in Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, Dari, and Pashto, please select your preferred language in the upper right hand corner of the comment form. 

The draft Principles and Goals were shared at the Housing 2040 Community Meeting and Open House on March 18 at Patrick Henry K-8 School. The meeting presentation and boards (Financial Tools Board; Preservation Board; Homeownership Board; and Tenant Issues Board), including a summary of the Housing 2040 Survey findings, are available on the Housing 2040 website. 

Background: The 2013 Housing Master Plan (HMP) established principles, goals, and strategies to address Alexandria's housing needs through 2025. In collaboration with the community and local partners, the City is undertaking an update to the HMP through 2040. Presentations and recordings of the Housing 2040 kick-off meetings and follow-up meetings on Housing 2040 topics are available at alexandriava.gov/HousingPlan. Starting with the Housing Needs Assessment, the Housing 2040 process will establish new housing affordability goals and examine housing policies, programs, and tools to support all Alexandria residents and workers. The current Housing Master Plan ends in 2025. 

For updates on the Housing 2040 process, in addition to eNews, you can also follow us on X @HousingAlexVA and on Facebook @HousingAlexandriaVA.
