Expanding Affordable Housing Supply

The region faces a critical shortage of affordable rental options. Between 2008 and 2022, the DMV lost nearly 40,000 units renting for under $1,800, while adding 50,000 units priced above $2,800. To ensure regional competitiveness, we must prioritize the production of middle-income and affordable housing to protect residents from displacement and financial strain.
