Press release from the City of Arlington:

April 22, 2021

Dr. Victoria Farrar-Myers, Arlington City Council District 7 at-large representation, was once again recognized for her continued work to make homeownership affordable in our community.

Rising LoneStars, a website that recognizes exceptional acts of leadership and provides information about local and state public officials, said Dr. Farrar-Myers’ dedication to affordable housing and combatting homelessness earned her a spot on its December 2020 Top Ten List of public officials.

Dr. Farrar-Myers has served as chair of TCHC’s Continuum of Care Board of Directors the past two years, helping lead the way towards greater regional collaboration to address homelessness.

In December, the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition awarded her the Community Champion Award for her leadership, personal engagement and data-driven approach to affordable housing and homelessness.

In addition to her work with the Continuum of Care, Dr. Farrar-Myers has served on the City of Arlington’s Community and Neighborhood Development Committee. There, she supported federal funding for a Navigator position to serve Arlington specifically, allowing service and housing providers greater efficiency in connecting with our community’s unsheltered homeless. She has also served on the Arlington Housing Finance Corporation board of directors, advocating for additional affordable housing in Arlington so that our most vulnerable populations can find a place to call home.
