Connecticut Families Facing Housing Challenges - Policy Change

The Parent Leaders of the CT Parent Housing Table want to shine light on the experiences of Connecticut families facing housing challenges and bring those lived experiences into the public policy conversation. We are inviting Connecticut residents who have experienced challenges securing affordable, safe, and stable housing or accessing housing assistance to share their stories by responding to a series of interview questions. Stories will be compiled into video segments and shared with the broader community, elected officials, and housing leaders across Connecticut ahead of November’s elections. The goal is to help policymakers hear directly from residents, so they can better understand the real-life impact of Connecticut’s housing systems, and consider opportunities for change. We want to hear not only about the challenges you experienced, but also what could have been different. What policies, programs, resources, or other changes could have made it easier for you and your family to access housing or the assistance you needed? Participants will receive interview questions, recording guidelines, and helpful tips to make sharing your story as easy and comfortable as possible. Your experience matters. Your voice matters. Your story can help shape the conversation about housing in Connecticut. By bringing lived experiences directly into the conversation, we hope this project will inform community dialogue and contribute to legislative discussions and decisions during the 2027 legislative session. If you or someone you know would like to participate, please complete the form below. Once you sign up, you’ll receive information about next steps, recording guidance, and project @updates.
