Plain English

Section 146-68 of the Stamford Code of Ordinances establishes a dedicated Special Trust Fund, called the Stamford Affordable Housing Trust Fund (SAHTF), to support affordable housing for Stamford residents. The fund is created under the authority of Connecticut General Statutes § 7-148(c)(2)(K) and is designed to be permanent in nature, meaning its balance does not expire or reset at the close of each municipal fiscal year. This structure allows accumulated funds to carry over year to year for ongoing affordable housing purposes.

For Property Managers

Under § 146-68, the City of Stamford has created the Stamford Affordable Housing Trust Fund (SAHTF) as a standing financial mechanism tied to affordable housing obligations and programs in the city. Property owners and developers operating in Stamford who are subject to affordable housing requirements or fee contributions should be aware that such funds may flow into the SAHTF rather than lapsing annually. Operators generally track any applicable contribution requirements and maintain records consistent with the city's affordable housing framework.

For Tenants

Section 146-68 establishes the Stamford Affordable Housing Trust Fund (SAHTF) as a permanent city resource intended to benefit Stamford residents seeking affordable housing. Because the fund does not lapse at the end of each fiscal year, resources can accumulate over time to support housing programs and opportunities. Tenants interested in affordable housing options funded through the SAHTF may explore available programs through the City of Stamford or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on accessing those resources.
