By the Numbers

Far too many families are spending more than 30% of their income on housing

Our conservative estimate of the number of affordable housing units that Connecticut needs is based on the number of extremely low income, severely cost-burdened households

Fair Share Housing will lead to hundreds of thousands of new homes (both affordable and market-rate), meaning more housing choices, more neighborhood revitalization, and more thriving communities

Enabling these new homes will create $47 billion in income for Connecticut residents and $9.6 billion in state and local tax revenue over 10 years

Employers big and small will get a much-needed boost as we invest in building neighborhoods that work for everyone, resulting in tens of thousands of new jobs
