Fair housing and equal opportunity requirements

Grantees participating in the program established by section 8-119kk of the Connecticut General Statutes are required to comply with all applicable federal and state fair housing laws, rules and regulations. The commissioner may suspend participation of a grantee in this program based on that grantee's lack of compliance, as noted above, so long as any eligible tenant is not seriously harmed by such suspension. "Seriously harmed" for purposes of this section shall mean that an eligible tenant would be required to pay in excess of thirty five percent (35%) of his/her adjusted gross monthly income for rent, less a utility allowance (if applicable).
