The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6768, aims to amend title 8 of the general statutes to mandate that ten percent of newly constructed housing units, as well as those managed by municipal housing authorities, be designated for occupancy by veterans. This initiative seeks to provide veterans with increased access to housing opportunities, recognizing their service and the need for supportive measures in the housing market.
The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the requirement for the set-aside of housing units for veterans, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The intent of the legislation is to ensure that a portion of housing resources is allocated to veterans, thereby enhancing their living conditions and integration into the community.
