Plan for affordable housing production would require municipalities to change zoning laws
Abigail Brone | Connecticut Public Radio
A proposed bill that would require Connecticut cities and towns to plan and zone for a set number of new housing units is gaining traction in Hartford.
The “Towns Take the Lead” bill is one of several proposed this legislative session by Growing Together Connecticut, a consortium of over 45 organizations working to break down barriers to affordable housing.
Growing Together Connecticut is proposing a series of bills, supported by some state lawmakers, that would allow communities to: build homes, keep homes and support families.
Members of the group gathered with state legislators and housing advocates at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford Monday where they presented their policy agenda for 2025.
