Ad Hoc Housing Committee 03-26-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut's Ad Hoc Housing Committee met on March 26, 2026, to discuss revisions to the affordable housing account ordinance and related funding mechanisms. Key procurement-related topics included the management and disbursement of funds from the affordable housing account, eligibility criteria for developers seeking funds, and the potential for the city to contribute additional funds to the account. The committee also discussed the importance of ensuring funds are not depleted by single projects and considered enforcement mechanisms for deed-restricted accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Additionally, the committee reviewed zoning areas eligible for funding and deliberated on the composition of the committee, emphasizing the need for members with relevant housing and development experience. No formal votes on procurement actions were taken, but the minutes were approved, and the committee planned to revisit ordinance language and funding strategies in future meetings.
