"Last year, we built more market rate and affordable housing than any time this century, and yet we are still desperately short of available housing, particularly for low and middle-income families," Governor Lamont said. "We cannot let our state fall into a housing crisis. Our administration is proposing significantly increased investments in affordable and workforce housing because this is a critical component needed to grow good-paying jobs, ensure businesses have the workforce necessary to fill in-demand positions, incentivize young people to stay in Connecticut, and support our economy."
