Meeting on affordable housingTown of Warren
LITCHFIELD COUNTY There’s a shortage of affordable housing in towns throughout Litchfield County, and many of those towns are now under pressure to remedy this.
The towns are required to follow the 2017 state statute that states all municipalities must develop an affordable housing plan by July 2022. The Northwest Hills Council of Governments is currently assisting nine county towns Washington, Warren, Morris, Barkhamsted, Cornwall, Canaan (Falls Village), Harwinton, Norfolk, and Goshen in its 21-town area with developing an affordable housing plan. The long-term goal of these plans is to meet the housing needs of current and future residents and workers in those towns.
