Housing Quality and Safety: Increasing Inspection Capacity
Much of Connecticut's multifamily housing stock is old and in disrepair. Forty percent of Connecticut's rental housing was built prior to 1960.
In most towns in Connecticut, tenants are responsible for submitting complaints regarding unsafe or unhealthy living conditions in their apartment or building.

The Rental Assistance Program (RAP) is Connecticut’s state-supported housing voucher program. Like the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher Program, RAP supports very low-income households by subsidizing a portion of their rent. Assistance adjusts with changes in household income to keep rental payments affordable.

Build More Affordable Homes
Affordable housing funding is an investment in Connecticut's economy – creating jobs, increasing household incomes, and generating new tax revenue.
