CT HB06611

Requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to complete a statewide affordable housing needs assessment by October 1, 2022, and determine regional need bases and municipal fair share allocations for each municipality based on property values, median income, poverty rates, and multifamily housing percentages

Mandates municipalities submit fair share plans by October 1, 2023, with specific requirements: at least 20% of units for extremely low-income households (≤30% median income), at least 65% for very low-income households (≤50% median income), and bedroom size minimums including 40% with 2+ bedrooms and 25% with 3+ bedrooms

Exempts municipalities with over 20% of population below federal poverty threshold from receiving fair share allocations, and caps any municipality's fair share base at 20% of its occupied dwelling units for the first 10 years

Establishes judicial enforcement through Superior Court in Hartford, allowing municipalities to seek compliance judgments and aggrieved parties (developers, nonprofits, qualifying individuals, compliant municipalities) to challenge non-compliant plans or force approval of affordable housing developments

Requires the state to address unmet affordable housing need through new mobile housing vouchers (half of unmet need) and construction subsidies for developments with 30% of units affordable to very low-income households
