The Center for Housing Opportunity works to produce and preserve housing for people of all incomes, ages, and backgrounds in western Connecticut.
Center for Housing Opportunity facilitates the production, preservation, and protection of housing that is affordable and accessible for people at all income levels and all stages of life in Fairfield County and Litchfield County.
We believe that equitable access to safe, affordable, and healthy housing is the foundation of a thriving community. Utilizing a collaborative, data-driven, and regional approach, the Center for Housing Opportunity strives to reduce the cost burdens which too many households - owners and renters - face in our region. The Center adopts a collective impact model that strategically aligns many organizations from multiple sectors to advance social change.

The Center for Housing Opportunity collaborated with Urban Institute in 2021 to produce Housing Connecticut’s Future. This first-of-its-kind statewide housing needs assessment found Connecticut is short 86,000 homes for its most vulnerable residents, those making 0-30% of area median income. The report finds that if left unaddressed, this gap and others will undercut our population growth, workforce development, and economic competitiveness.
“This comprehensive report will go a long way in helping Connecticut target and guide investment to those most at risk – like seniors and low-income families.” - United States Senator Chris Murphy (CT)
