The lack of affordable housing has been and continues to be a problem for everyone in Connecticut. As a first step toward a remedy, in 1988 the General Assembly enacted Connecticut General Statutes §8-30g to promote opportunities for the construction of more affordable housing in the state.
The statute was designed to make it easier for a developer to obtain a zoning change in order to build a housing development with affordable units. Under the statue, if a developer’s proposal provides that at least 30 percent of the dwelling units to be built must be sold or rented at or below prices that will cost purchasers or renters, as the case may be, 30 percent or less of their annual income, then the statute shifts the burden of proof for obtaining a change in zoning from the applicant to the local government.
