Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8 § 8-345c
(Formerly Sec. 17b-815). Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program. Internet publication requirements when accepting new applications.
Operative Text
At least two weeks before any entity in the state that administers vouchers under the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, 42 USC 1437f(o), opens its waiting list for the acceptance of new applications for such vouchers, such entity shall notify, in writing or by electronic mail, the operator of an Internet web site designated by the Department of Housing, of (1) the date of the opening of such waiting list, (2) the manner in which applicants may apply, and (3) the date, if any, on which the waiting list will be closed. The operator of said web site shall make such information available, by electronic means or otherwise, to Infoline of Connecticut, other organizations and the public.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-345c, any Connecticut entity that administers federal Housing Choice Vouchers must publicly announce when its waiting list is opening—at least two weeks in advance. The notice must go to the operator of a state-designated website and include the opening date, how people can apply, and the closing date if one exists. That website operator is then required to share the information broadly, including with Infoline of Connecticut and the general public.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners who participate in the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program should be aware that under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-345c, the administering entities—not landlords directly—carry the obligation to post waiting-list openings. Compliant housing authorities and voucher administrators typically maintain a calendar of waiting-list events and submit required notices to the Department of Housing's designated website well before the two-week deadline. Understanding this pipeline helps landlords anticipate when new voucher holders may be entering the rental market.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-345c is designed to ensure that information about Housing Choice Voucher waiting-list openings reaches the public through a state-designated website and through Infoline of Connecticut before any list opens. Tenants and applicants can monitor that website or contact Infoline to learn about upcoming application windows, opening dates, and how to apply. If a waiting list opened without the required advance notice being published, tenants may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or the Connecticut Department of Housing to understand what options may be available.
