About Connecticut's Affordable Housing Conference: Building Stability
Partnership for Strong Communities (PSC) hosted the third annual Connecticut’s Affordable Housing Conference (CAHC) virtually across November 14, 15 and 16, 2022. This year the CAHC focused on Building Stability and spotlighted a wide array of best practice, collaborations, and coordinated advocacy strategies to strengthen housing stability for households and communities across Connecticut. This year's conference featured a menu of sessions relevant to affordable housing developers, tenant advocates, lenders and funders, public housing authorities, municipal and state policy leaders, housing advocates, and the general public.
Housing instability takes many forms: paying too much of one's income for housing, living with family or friends to share costs, living in overcrowded or substandard housing, living in unsafe or disinvested neighborhoods, experiencing eviction or a forced move, and at its worst, literal homelessness. BIPOC households disproportionately experience housing instability.
As temporary renter protections expire and pandemic resource infusions wane, more and more CT households face paying more than 30% of their of income on housing costs, living in unsafe or unhealthy housing, or experiencing eviction.
The CAHC explores how we can build the public and political will to realize equitable, stable, affordable housing in Connecticut.
The CAHC is free and open for all to attend with the generous support of our sponsors.
