Housing Production Report: Connecticut Affordable Housing Projects

State-supported affordable housing projects in Connecticut, including units completed since 2019 or currently under construction. The dataset tracks funding from the Department of Housing and CHFA, categorizes units by income affordability levels, and details project costs and locations. Projects are filtered to include only those with key milestones occurring after January 1, 2019.

Use Cases

• Analyzing geographic distribution of affordable housing using Municipality, County, and Zip Code columns.
• Tracking public investment levels by comparing DOH Investment and CHFA Investment against Total Project Cost.
• Assessing affordability mix of developments by aggregating Units 50% AMI and below, Units 51-80% AMI, Units 81-120% AMI, and Above 120% AMI.
• Monitoring project progress and completion timelines via Project Bucket (Completion Year) and Actual Completion Date.
• Evaluating the scale and type of housing production through Total Project Units, New Units, and Rehab Units.

Strengths

• Includes detailed financial and unit-level data for each project, such as Total Project Cost and breakdowns by income level.
• Provides a temporal filter focusing on projects active since January 1, 2019, offering a current view of housing production.
• Available on multiple government data platforms (Socrata and Data.gov), indicating official publication and likely maintenance.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as row count, license, and author are missing from all platform entries.
• The dataset notes that subtotal/total amounts may be inflated due to multiple applications captured for a single project.
• The last updated date differs between platforms (2026-05-11 on Socrata vs. 2026-04-12 on Data.gov), suggesting potential synchronization issues.
