4 INTRODUCTION This guide has been created to assist individual’s age 60+ or disabled to identify and explore affordable housing in southwestern Connecticut. Although there are many different types of housing communities serving the elderly/disabled population, this guide is a resource for affordable, congregate, subsidized, supportive, transitional, and veteran housing. It is arranged alphabetically first by town and then by property name. Eligibility requirements, applications, waiting list opening/closing and rent calculations will vary with each property. Therefore, we strongly recommended that you contact each property to obtain the most current information about that community. Included in this guide is a definition page which will help to clarify housing terms and programs and will assist you in determining the type of housing most appropriate for your needs. *Some properties prefer that you contact them by email others prefer that you call them.
