Rockville Community Invited to Share Housing Experiences at Workshop

The City of Rockville will host an open-house workshop 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at Rockville Memorial Library, 21 Maryland Ave. 

The workshop is part of the city’s comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment, which examines housing affordability, availability and type across the community. Housing affordability is a key priority for the Mayor and Council, and input gathered during the workshop will help shape future housing policy, programs and planning decisions. 

The assessment focuses on identifying gaps affecting older adults, renters, people with disabilities, families and residents with limited or moderate incomes. City staff will use the findings to develop solutions that make housing more accessible and affordable for all Rockville residents. 

The project began in January with a housing analysis. A community survey was conducted in February. Following the March workshop, city staff will develop policy recommendations, with the assessment complete in April. 

A summary of community feedback and findings is expected later this spring.
