Missing Middle Housing - County Board Engagement

From September to October 2022, the Arlington County Board hosted 3 Information Sessions and 20 Community Conversations regarding Missing Middle Housing. Participants had the opportunity to learn, listen, reflect, and share their perspectives with County Board members and neighbors to inform the following steps of the MMHS process. 

During each session, comprehensive notes were taken - these notes, without attribution to any of the participants, are available here(PDF, 1MB) (Also available in Excel format(XLSX, 364KB) ).

In 2020, the County began its Missing Middle Housing Study (MMHS) to explore how new housing types could address Arlington’s shortfall in housing supply. After two years of public engagement, the MMHS has reached its 3rd phase.
