AN ACT EXPANDING THE TIME TO OWN PROGRAM AND SETTING ASIDE FUNDS FOR TEACHERS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS.

HB 6336 expands Connecticut's Time to Own housing assistance program to include dedicated funding for teachers and early childhood/child care professionals. The bill requires the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority to allocate specific funds within the program for these groups, directly affecting their ability to access down payment and closing cost assistance. Key provisions mandate the authority to set aside these funds as part of the program's existing structure, without altering other eligibility rules. This creates a targeted pathway for educators and child care workers to qualify for housing support through the state's existing program.
