(RECAP: Though born in controversy, Arlington’s Affordable Housing Study Working Group managed to win over most critics during its three-year effort, and on Dec. 4 was among the honorees at the eighth annual Ellen M. Bozman Affordable Housing Awards, presented by the Alliance for Housing Solutions. “It’s great to live in a community where affordable housing is a bipartisan issue.

The body’s work evolved into an Affordable Housing Master Plan, adopted unanimously by the County Board last year.)
