HARTFORD — Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced Monday that the State of Connecticut will award more than $61.5 million to assist in the help to rehabilitate, or expand 24 housing developments in 20 towns and cities across the state.
In a release, Malloy said the investments will create or rehabilitate 978 homes.
“The availability of affordable housing for low and moderate-income residents is a driver of economic growth and will make Connecticut a more vibrant place to work and live,” Governor Malloy said. “When we invest in housing, we invest in people, communities and our economic future.”
Malloy said the homes will expand on the administration’s efforts to diversify the state’s affordable housing stock and create more opportunity in more places.
Malloy said the state is also investing significant funds in the rehabilitation of the long-neglected State Sponsored Housing Portfolio (SSHP).
“Governor Malloy’s commitment to affordable housing development is second to none,” Commissioner Klein said. “We’ve made historic investments during the last seven and a half years by funding developments in economically diverse communities with access to local services and support.
