Hey! This is another issue we've seen a lot of interest in — our fantastic housing reporter, u/GinnyMonk1, has covered affordable housing in Connecticut. The General Assembly is likely to take up legislation surrounding housing and zoning in 2023, as she reported earlier this month: https://ctmirror.org/2023/01/05/ct-legislative-session-housing-evictions-zoning-homelessness/.

One state law passed three decades ago — commonly referred to by its statutory reference, 8-30g — was designed to encourage affordable housing development in CT's suburban communities. An "explainer" on 8-30g can be found here: https://ctmirror.org/2022/10/18/ct-8-30g-affordable-low-income-housing-rent-cost-of-living/.
