The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 409, aims to enhance investment in supportive housing and home ownership initiatives by amending the general statutes. It establishes a supportive housing fund, appropriating $130 million to support vulnerable individuals, including those with behavioral health issues, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals transitioning out of foster care. Additionally, the bill creates a housing innovations fund, also with an appropriation of $130 million, intended to provide rental housing solutions that include extensive support services.

The overarching purpose of this legislation is to promote investments in supportive housing initiatives and to bolster home ownership support initiatives, thereby addressing the needs of at-risk populations and improving housing stability. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing instead on the new appropriations and fund establishments.
