SB 33 establishes the "Learn Here, Live Here" program, requiring the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to create it with an annual budget of up to $5 million. The program targets individuals with an annual federal adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less. Key provisions include setting a funding cap of $5 million per year and restricting eligibility to low-income residents based on income thresholds. This bill directly affects qualifying low-income residents seeking housing support within the state.
HB 5298 establishes a state grant program administered by Connecticut's Department of Veterans Affairs, providing funding for capital projects benefiting veterans. It directly assists municipalities and nonprofit veterans' organizations by covering costs for repairing mechanical systems at homes of elderly, disabled, or low-income veterans, and maintaining veterans' memorials or monuments. The program, effective October 1, 2026, will be funded through state bonds (with bond details to be finalized), requiring the department to develop eligibility criteria by January 2027 and submit annual reports to the legislature. This creates a structured, state-funded mechanism to support physical infrastructure needs specific to veterans' communities.
