Moving to Work in Fairfax County
Communitywide Housing Strategic Plan
Fairfax County is a great place to live, work, and play, however, it remains one of the highest cost areas for housing in the nation. Over the last decade, Fairfax County has experienced unprecedented increases in the cost of for-sale housing and a significant decrease in affordable rental housing. In addition, according to data from George Mason University’s Center for Regional Analysis, the county will need thousands more homes affordable to new workers – earning a range of incomes – to meet the need associated with projected job growth over the next 20 years. A reasonably healthy job market and above average housing prices (compared to the rest of the country) will continue to make Fairfax County a profoundly challenging housing market. In an effort to address this challenge, the county is leading the development of a Communitywide Housing Strategic Plan. A plan shaped by the community for the community. You are critical to the creation and success of this plan.
Home Repair for the Elderly Program for Elderly and Disabled Adults

Fairfax County will provide a crew to do up to one week's labor and provide up to $500 in materials to complete necessary repairs and maintenance. Materials are paid for by County and Federal funds.
The Affordable Housing Partnership Program
The Affordable Housing Partnership Program provides funds to nonprofit and for-profit housing development organizations for the development and preservation of affordable homeownership and rental housing.
