Member Monthly Time Commitment

Because affordable housing is a major priority in Arlington, the workload of the Housing Commission has increased. In addition to attending the regularly scheduled monthly Commission meetings, members are appointed to one or more subcommittees and/or special projects. To ensure affordable housing is included in the housing development process, members are also assigned as the primary or secondary Housing Commission representative to track a site plan and update the Commission on its progress and completion.
