Host Press Call to Discuss Findings
New Haven, CT [January 17, 2024] - Connecticut Voices for Children today released a new report, “Fostering Stable Homes: Tackling Housing Displacement for a Stronger Connecticut,” which examines Connecticut’s housing affordability crisis and the impact of that crisis on residential stability, family economic security and wealth, as well as the broader economic impact of housing unaffordability.
