Unmet Housing Needs Strategic Plan--Loudoun County

On October 28, 2020, I attend a virtual community meeting of the committee writing a strategic plan for the unmet housing needs in Loudoun County.  Affordable housing is an incredibly important issue facing Loudoun County and Leesburg residents.  The public meeting was an opportunity for citizens to express their opinions on the unmet needs here in Loudoun County.  

The citizens who participated expressed their opinion via some virtual survey questions.  One of the questions was what type of residential housing is needed.  A majority of those in attendance believed more apartments are needed with a focus on variety, i.e. number of bedrooms, layouts, etc.  The number one challenge, and this isn't a shock, was cost of housing. The virtual meeting notes, ideas and opinions will be used in crafting the county's strategic plan for meeting our housing needs. 

Overall, the opinions expressed mirrored what I'm hearing from Leesburg residents on housing and the affordability of housing.  We have a great challenge as community leaders and concerned citizens with affordability of housing here in Leesburg.  This is one of our greatest challenges.  A safe and stable place to live is essential, especially for our children.  As a member of Leesburg Town Council, I look forward to working with Loudoun County and the state of Virginia to help ensure Leesburg residents have access to affordable, safe, and stable housing.
