Show Notes
Connecticut lawmakers are considering two bills to address the housing crisis, adjusting the controversial eight-thirty-g affordable housing law. One bill promotes modular single-family homes to reduce costs, while the other tightens regulations on prefab apartment buildings. House Bill fifty-three ninety-five offers towns credits for affordable housing units, but faces criticism for potentially favoring out-of-state factories and not prioritizing truly low-cost units. House Bill fifty-three seventy-six allows towns to demand safety reports and consultants for nonstandard builds, addressing fire code concerns. Lawmakers must balance affordability and safety as these bills move towards votes amidst ongoing projects and a growing housing shortage.
