Join us for the next conversation in our Intersectional webinar series!
The Partnership is featuring advocates, policy experts and leaders in other sectors across Connecticut who aim to promote intersectional solutions to help address the critical need for diverse, accessible and affordable housing in our state. This session will focus on the intersection of Affordable Housing and the availability of rental homes that meet the payment standards for federal and state rental assistance. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from panelists about the current research work, and data collected on the availability of housing that meets the Fair Market Rent (FMR) and Maximum allowable rent standards used for the federal Section 8 rental assistance program and the state’s rental assistance program.
Presenters will explore the realities and challenges associated with finding rental housing, and present preliminary findings with a focus on the Capitol region, Western and South-Central Connecticut.
