Fairfax Healthy Communities

Healthy Sustainable

Inclusive

Vision

We envision a Fairfax County where people can live, work, and play in connected communities that are healthy, sustainable, and inclusive.

This vision recognizes that the intersections of equity, housing security, walkable, bikeable neighborhoods, transit-oriented communities, clean air & water, access to green space, and food come together in one word: health.

Mission

We seek policies which put peoples’ needs at the center of decision making to ensure livable, mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented, and green communities in achieving this future.

These transportation, housing, energy, land use, and environmental policies should be acted on with urgency in support of both One Fairfax and Net Zero goals to mitigate climate impacts and provide resiliency to ensure an equitable and healthy future.
