First: $500,000 was approved for Pacific House, Inc. This is a second appropriation for the 66 Stillwater Avenue project to cover increased construction costs. The project will provide 15 deeply affordable units, half of which are for those at 0-30% of the area median income.

Second: $150,000 was unanimously approved for Charter Oak Communities. This fund provides security deposit assistance for up to 60 Housing Choice Voucher households—addressing a critical gap since Section 8 does not cover upfront deposit costs.

Longer-form draft.
On the July 21 meeting, the Stamford Board of Representatives approved two significant funding requests totaling $650,000 to support affordable housing initiatives in our community. The first allocation provides $500,000 to Pacific House, Inc. for the development at 66 Stillwater Avenue. This is a second appropriation requested to address rising construction costs and changes in federal policy. Once complete, this project will provide 15 deeply affordable housing units, with roughly half designated for residents making between 0-30% of the area median income. The second decision was a unanimous vote to approve $150,000 for Charter Oak Communities. This money is specifically earmarked for security deposit assistance for up to 60 Housing Choice Voucher households. Because Section 8 vouchers only cover monthly rent and not the initial security deposit, many low-income families are locked out of the rental market. This program is designed to be a revolving fund, where money is returned to Charter Oak as tenants move out, allowing it to be redeployed to others. Both decisions directly impact how Stamford manages its housing shortage and supports its most vulnerable residents. https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-representatives/2026-07-21/ #MeetingWatch #StamfordCT
