A cluster of bills (CB-097, CB-099, CB-100, CB-108, CB-109) would create an Affordable Housing Opportunity Sites Program, finance small housing providers, dedicate surplus county land to affordable housing, and require affordability on public land. Together they aim to expand affordable housing supply across the county.

County Council - Sep 1, 2026
The council introduced a sweeping set of housing bills — tax relief for seniors, small landlord grants, affordable housing requirements on county land, and a Social Housing Task Force. Residents also flagged investor purchases of homes and development streamlining as concerns.
Board of Appeals - Jul 15, 2026
Two cases centered on family members with special needs: the Herreras' covered porch gives their son with special needs a safe outdoor space, and the Polks' addition creates a comfortable in-law suite for their 74-year-old mother. The board cited both in approving the variances.
