The Village of Arlington Heights has been evaluating its inclusionary affordable housing program through which residential developers are required to include affordable units in their developments. Arlington Heights is one of 7 Chicago suburbs with a voluntary or mandatory inclusionary affordable housing program.

 
At a Committee of the Whole meeting on January 13, 2020, proposed revisions to the Village’s inclusionary affordable housing program and a draft inclusionary affordable housing ordinance were reviewed. The Committee of the Whole directed that staff make certain changes to the draft ordinance and further directed that the final draft ordinance be referred to the Housing Commission for its review. This review by the Housing Commission will take place at their meeting on February 4, 2020.
