Dear John,

Please join us in celebrating our “2020 Regional Housing Leaders Awards” recipients. Each month we will spotlight an organization or individual who is working to advance regional housing solutions through creative partnerships.

First up, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG). @MWCOG is being honored for the work of the Regional Housing Initiative, a year-long analysis of housing supply, location and affordability in the DMV, securing a unanimous approval for regional housing targets for 2030.

COG is an independent, nonprofit association that brings area leaders together to address major regional issues in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland, and Northern Virginia. In 2019, the COG Board of Directors made addressing the region’s housing production and affordability challenges its top priority. After an intense effort, involving elected officials, housing and planning directors, and COG staff, the Board of Directors, led by its 2019 chair Robert White (District of Columbia) and vice chairs Derrick L. Davis (Prince George’s County) and Christian Dorsey (Arlington County), unanimously adopted three regional housing targets and committed to advance this work at the local level with nonprofit, private, and philanthropic partners.
