** MAKING ROOM FOR MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING
------------------------------------------------------------
AHS believes that making room for Missing Middle Housing means more options for Arlington’s future. While Missing Middle Housing is not the solution to all of Arlington’s affordable housing challenges, it is an essential piece of the larger puzzle to help meet the needs of all Arlingtonians.
With support from Virginia Housing ([link removed]) , AHS joined together with the Lee Highway Alliance ([link removed]) to launch Missing Middle Arlington, a new educational resource and hub for all the latest developments, news, and events around Missing Middle Housing. We invite you to visit the website, learn more about Missing Middle Housing, and join the conversation about how we can work together to make Arlington a place for everyone.
