Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 55

A safe, secure, and affordable living environment contributes to a high quality of life. Arlington’s economic sustainability is dependent on a supply of housing options to meet the demands of a growing population and a work force of various income levels. Housing that is affordable provides stability for families, improves opportunities for education and career advancement, and reduces the risk of homelessness for households that are dependent on low wages or fixed incomes. A review of the city’s 2004 housing strategy will be completed in early 2015. The information will help provide implementation tools and strategies related to developing a quality housing mix that meets the needs of all Arlington residents. 2010-2012 <1960 1990-2000 2000-2010 <1960 2000-2010 1960-1970 1960-1970 1980-1990 1990-2000 1970-1980 1970-1980 1980-1990 Single Family Multi-Family 49
