Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing Definition
Housing
When 10% of a community’s housing stock is affordable, it is
exempt from an affordable housing appeals procedure that
shifts the burden of proof to the community to show that
Economics
threats to public health or safety outweigh the need for
affordable housing.
An affordable unit under CGS 8-30g must be:
– assisted (funded under a state or federal program);
– CHFA-financed (financed under a program for income-qualifying
Fiscal
persons or families); or,
– deed restricted to be affordable to low- or moderate-income
persons or families for at least 40 years.
Zoning

29. Demographics
Affordable Housing
• In South Windsor:
Housing
– 7.06% of units are “affordable” (using 2010 Census
housing counts) – “Assisted” and “CHFA Mortgages”
– To reach 10%, need 185 more units (though each
Economics
new market rate unit increases this number)
– Achievable!
– But….over dependence on CHFA mortgages:
Fiscal
out of 723 “affordable units”, 249 or 34% are CHFA
mortgages, which can “leave” the community if the
owner moves out of town.

A location quotient compares the concentration of jobs in a location to a larger area. In this case South
Windsor was compared to the State. Generally quotients of 0.75 to 1.25 means that the town is on
par with the state. A higher quotient indicates that the town has a higher concentration of jobs and
a smaller quotient means that the town has a lesser concentration.
