# 09/22/26 Affordable Housing Committee

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut Affordable Housing Committee met on September 22, 2026, to discuss several procurement and development-related matters focused on affordable housing. Key procurement discussions included a proposed acquisition of a property at 377 Quincy Street for $305,000 using funds from the town's housing trust fund. The acquisition aims to preserve affordable housing units in a flood zone area and potentially develop a duplex on the site, requiring zoning adjustments and coordination with Habitat for Humanity. The committee unanimously endorsed moving forward with the purchase and reserved the necessary funds from the trust. Additionally, the committee planned a public workshop for October 22 to engage builders and the community on affordable homeownership, including discussions on development costs, zoning, and design concepts such as pocket neighborhoods. They also reviewed ongoing negotiations for a land donation to support affordable housing development and discussed strategies for outreach and funding, including a $2,500 mini grant for public engagement efforts. The meeting included updates on regulatory changes and future zoning initiatives to support middle housing development.
