As numerous bills addressing housing affordability make their way through the state legislature, advocates say it’s because more people are recognizing the importance of fixing a broken housing system.
Lawmakers have moved several zoning reform measures through the committee process this session, a major part of Democrats’ push to address the housing crisis in Connecticut.
Two sweeping bills that aim to address issues ranging from evictions and workforce housing to homelessness and fair housing had a public hearing Tuesday, the first step in advancing Democrats’ priorities related to housing this session.
The hearing is the first step in possible passage of the wide-ranging bills introduced during a session marked by its focus on housing issues.
