Our new housing bill gives towns the tools to plan responsibly for growth, using data and local input to meet the housing needs of today and tomorrow.

🏡 Supporting Smart, Affordable Housing Growth
From retirees looking to downsize, to young professionals searching for their first apartment, to families seeking a safe, stable place to grow — every Connecticut resident deserves an affordable home.

🧠 Investing in Children’s Behavioral Health
We advanced new efforts to expand services, improve coordination, and require insurance coverage for autism and behavioral therapies up to age 26 — creating a stronger, more responsive system of care for kids and families.

🏥 Keeping Our Hospitals Open
We approved a deal for UConn Health to acquire Waterbury, Bristol, and Day Kimball Hospitals, safeguarding local health care access and jobs, and strengthening our state’s health care system for the future.

✅ Protecting Families from Federal Cuts
We allocated funding to offset federal reductions to SNAP, WIC, and LIHEAP, ensuring families can still put food on the table and heat their homes this winter. Connecticut will not stand by while the federal government targets low- and middle-income households
