Affordable Housing in CT: Progress & Challenges

Connecticuts affordable housing units have surged by over twenty-one thousand since 2016, yet high costs persist. Government-assisted projects account for forty percent of this growth, adding over eight thousand five hundred units. The eight-thirty-g law allows builders to challenge towns rejecting affordable housing plans if less than ten percent of a towns housing is affordable. However, most towns fall short of this goal, leaving families with limited options. Half of Connecticut renters spend more than a third of their income on housing, with one in four paying over half. A recent report proposed tweaks to the eight-thirty-g law, and efforts are ongoing to convert old schools and church land into new units.
