I want to begin by affirming my commitment to the County’s Affordable Housing Master Plan. I would find fresh sources to increase our funding of the Affordable Housing Investment Fund (AHIF).

Using an equity lens to evaluate all our decisions will ensure we know who is helped, who is hurt, and who we are leaving behind in our programs and policies. By doing this, we will ensure ALL Arlingtonians thrive throughout the County.
