The Town of Guilford, in collaboration with the South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG), is working toward the development of an Affordable Housing Plan, which is due to the state on June 1, 2022. A public meeting will be held via the Zoom platform on the evening of Wednesday, March 9, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The goal of the meeting is to review the recently completed Guilford Affordable Housing Existing Conditions Report developed by SCRCOG and RKG Associates Inc.

The existing conditions report will serve as the first section of the forthcoming affordable housing plan and is aimed at establishing a baseline of current socio-economic and demographic characteristics of Guilford. More specifically this baseline analysis encompasses data points ranging from population and housing characteristics to general economic indicators and labor force statistics. The value of this analytical piece is that it provides an opportunity to identify current local trends and/or quantify and detail, more specifically, known trends experienced by local stakeholders.

The goal of this report is to present a thorough data driven picture of Guilford, which can be used to align community stakeholders with the same baseline information to both inform and guide the future sections of the affordable housing plan involving issues and opportunities, goals, and strategies for increasing Guilford’s affordable housing stock. Any questions regarding the town’s Affordable Housing Plan process and materials can be directed to Town Planner Jaime Stein in the Guilford Planning & Zoning Department at steinj@guilfordct.gov or 203-453-8032.
