Housing issues affect everyone in Connecticut, from those who are searching for a safe place to live, to those who may find it increasingly difficult to afford a place they already call home.WNPR is covering Connecticut's housing and homelessness issues in a series that examines how residents are handling the challenges they face. We look at the trends that matter most right now, and tell stories that help bring the issues to light.

Connecticut's Slow Housing Recovery

It’s been years since the housing market crashed. But in that time, increased job insecurity and the rising cost of living have left many questioning whether the American dream of homeownership is still a practical one, especially for the nation’s low- and middle-wage earners.

This hour, a roundtable conversation about the state of Connecticut’s housing market. We talk with a panel of industry experts to find out more about what rollercoaster market fluctuations and rising rents mean for the future of homeownership in our state.

GUESTS:

  • Eric Chatman - President and Executive Director of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority
  • Deb Chamberlain - President of the Connecticut Association of Realtors
  • David Fink - Policy Director for the Partnership for Strong Communities
