Fairfax County Workforce Housing Summit Materials and Photos
On Wednesday, June 25, Fairfax County, in partnership with the ULI Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing and Freddie Mac, hosted a Workforce Housing Summit to discuss the pressing need for workforce housing in Fairfax County; the link between workforce housing and easing traffic congestion problems; and potential strategies for providing more workforce housing to ensure the continued success of the county’s corporations, institutions and governmental services in attracting and retaining workers.
The Summit began a dialogue with area employers to engage them in the issue of the need for additional workforce housing in Fairfax County and to heighten awareness of the negative impacts on the community and transportation when the workforce cannot afford to live where they work. The event included keynote addresses by Robert Thomson, a.k.a. “Dr. Gridlock,” of The Washington Post and Roger K. Lewis, FAIA, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland and columnist for The Washington Post.
Materials from the Summit are available online here.
Photos from the Summit are available here.
