# Affordable Housing Account Committee 10-29-2026

The Norwalk Affordable Housing Account Committee met on October 29, 2026, but lacked a quorum, so it did not conduct official business and tabled approval of the minutes. Members informally discussed feedback on a draft scoring matrix for allocating affordable housing account funds, including whether to award additional points to local developers. Counsel had indicated that this could be legally possible but might be difficult to define and administer; no decision was made. The committee planned to revisit the feedback at a properly convened meeting before forwarding the criteria to the Economic and Community Development Committee and then Common Council for consideration.

The discussion also covered possible funding sources, including workforce housing fees, zoning enforcement fees and fines if ordinances are amended, and potential annual city capital contributions, which would require a budget decision. A member raised possible affordable housing projects, including purchasing and rehabilitating existing multifamily properties reportedly listed for about $1.4 million and new construction at a Philly Street property. No purchase, contract, funding allocation, or other procurement action was approved. Members planned to seek a meeting date within roughly two weeks and before Thanksgiving.
