Hello community members and stakeholders,
For those who couldn’t join last week’s Affordable Housing Plan Office Hour Sessions, you can now check out a recording of the meeting here:
Find the City’s Draft Affordable Housing Plan here.
The Affordable Housing Plan is a five-year strategy document that outlines the City’s current efforts related to housing affordability; assesses the city’s housing needs, opportunities, and challenges; and finally, sets a vision, goals, and specific actions related to housing affordability for the next five years.
This Affordable Housing Plan was developed in part to address recent State legislation mandating the preparation of a municipal affordable plan (CGS Section 8-30j) and in part to address Hartford’s local affordable housing needs.
Please send written comments related to the Draft Affordable Housing Plan to oneplan@hartford.gov by Monday October 3, 2022.
