Dr. Sturtevant has led numerous housing studies for other local jurisdictions, including Montgomery County, Rockville, James City County, Loudoun County, and Arlington County. She has worked on housing-related research projects for the National Association of Realtors, AARP, the National Housing Conference and Urban Land Institute.
