AN ACT CONCERNING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR CERTAIN DISABLED OR ELDERLY VETERANS.

SB 1277 modifies Connecticut's affordable housing moratorium rules to specifically exempt housing for disabled or elderly veterans. The bill creates an exception to temporary pauses on housing appeals (typically 4-5 years) for projects where at least 95% of units are restricted to low-income households, or for smaller projects (40 units or fewer), *including* housing designated for veterans with a 30%+ VA disability rating or who are 65+ years old. This ensures veterans' housing applications won't be subject to the moratorium, directly benefiting them and the municipalities building such projects. The change takes effect October 1, 2025.
