Fairfax City Launches Survey To Gather Public Input On Housing

Press release from the City of Fairfax :

(Feb. 20, 2025) – Fairfax City has launched a survey, open now through March 15, to gather input from the public regarding housing in the city. Click here to participate or access the survey via the QR code on the flyer.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available in both English and Spanish. Survey responses will help shape the city's Affordable Housing and Homelessness Strategic Plan, set to be published in June.

The strategic plan development process, which began last summer, includes stakeholder engagement, data collection, and an evaluation of current housing programs. This effort builds upon the foundational understanding of Fairfax City’s housing market, ongoing development plans, and community priorities outlined in the Housing Assessment & Strategy Report (2023) and the Homelessness Task Force Report (2024). The community meeting held in January, which gathered experiences, concerns, and insights from those facing housing affordability challenges, is just one example of our engagement efforts.

Housing affordability is an increasing concern for many communities. Fairfax City is committed to developing data-driven solutions that meet local housing needs, improve quality of life, and ensure long-term sustainability. Your input is needed to create an Affordable Housing and Homelessness Strategic Plan that reflects the diverse perspectives of its community.
