Connecticut Opportunity Communities Initiative
The recently unveiled Connecticut Opportunity Mapping initiative, conducted on behalf of the Connecticut Fair Housing Center, has already impacted policy in the State. The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development has referenced this initiative in the State’s recently released official Long range Housing Plan, voicing support for the model policies presented by the Kirwan Institute. In that report, the State cites the need for state policy that connects people to areas of opportunity and the need to create opportunity in distressed communities.
