Strategic Housing Programs
Blueprint Goals:
-
To end homelessness in 10 years;
-
To reduce the waiting lists for affordable housing by half in 10 years;
-
To produce Workforce Housing sufficient to accommodate projected job
growth;
-
To provide affordable housing options to those with special needs.
Description
Completing the Pipeline – Meeting the Future Need
-
The Blueprint will include support to non-profit developers to produce
or acquire 100 units of multifamily housing each year. These
projects would be supported through county assistance as well as
low-income housing tax credits and other specialized financing
programs.
-
Initially, these funds will be focused on projects already in the
pipeline. Projects include senior housing and assisted living;
magnet housing and residential studio units, mobile home parks and
residential/revitalization. The pipeline in the current Fairfax County
Capital Improvement Program includes the renovation of Mondloch
House shelter and conversion to residential studio units;
Lewinsville Senior Housing; Magnet Housing at West Ox;
the Residences at North Hill Park; expansion and redevelopment
of Crescent Apartments as part of the revitalization of Lake
Anne; the conversion of a vacated group home to housing for disabled
veterans; and the rehabilitation/replacement of Lincolnia
Assisted Living.
-
To ensure a sufficient supply of affordable housing in the future,
projects must be planned and developed now.
-
The county should explore opportunities to foster the involvement of
the private development community, via organizations such as HomeAid,
to participate in FCRHA construction and rehabilitation projects as a
means to reduce cost.
