Thompson, CT Affordable Housing Plan
Town of Thompson Seeks Resident Input for an Affordable Housing Plan 3 May 2021, Thompson The Town of Thompson is the recipient of a grant from the Connecticut Department of Housing to develop an Affordable Housing Plan. The grants were awarded to help bring all of Connecticut’s communities into better alignment with the requirements of C.G.S. 8-30j, which requires that every municipality write such a Plan every five years. The goal of the local project team is to create a Plan that reflects Thompson’s unique needs while simultaneously mapping a path to develop the kinds of housing options that will serve residents at all stages of life, and across income levels.
One of the most important elements in creating a workable Plan is to meet the priorities of residents. A survey drafted by project consultants Tyche Planning & Policy Group is available on-line and in hard-copy at several locations throughout Thompson. All residents are encouraged to access Survey Monkey site or fill out a paper copy to provide their input, ahead of development of the Plan. All responses are completely confidential. The survey will be open throughout the month of May.
