The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1174, aims to enhance the availability of affordable housing for veterans in the state. It seeks to amend title 8 of the general statutes to include provisions that give veterans a preference in certain housing programs. Additionally, the bill proposes to incorporate veterans into existing housing policies, specifically under section 8-30g, by allocating a percentage of housing units for lower-income veterans.

The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting the veteran population by ensuring they have better access to affordable housing options. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing the housing needs of veterans and aims to create a more inclusive housing policy that recognizes their service and sacrifices.
