Cal. Civ. Code § 8-37ee-701
Requisite approvals, notifications, and reports
Operative Text
(a) For new housing opportunities, the entity shall submit an initial affirmative fair housing marketing plan and tenant selection plan as required by section 8-37ee-901 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies at least ninety (90) days prior to implementation of such plans. (b) For new housing opportunities, upon receipt of an initial affirmative fair housing marketing plan and tenant selection plan from the entity, the housing agency shall review each plan and, if the housing agency deems necessary, may schedule a preoccupancy conference. If necessary, the housing agency shall hold such preoccupancy conference prior to initiation of sales, rental, or other marketing activities. At the preoccupancy conference, the housing agency shall review the most recent previously approved plans with the entity to determine if the entity is required to modify the plans or their proposed implementation prior to initiation of marketing in order to achieve the objectives of subtitle 8-37ee of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and the plans. (c) For existing housing opportunities, the entity shall submit any modifications made to plans to the respective housing agency for review and approval at least sixty (60) days prior to implementation. (d) Entities shall be required to collect data as identified in section 8-37bb of the Connecticut General Statutes from tenants, participants and persons on waitlists. The entity shall analyze the data collected as required by section 8-37bb of the Connecticut General Statutes and shall report such data to the housing agency annually, consistent with the requirements of and timeframes set forth by section 8-37bb or section 8-37qqq(a)(4)(B) of the Connecticut General Statutes, as applicable.
Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-701, housing entities must submit affirmative fair housing marketing plans and tenant selection plans to the relevant housing agency before beginning any marketing or leasing activities—at least 90 days in advance for new housing opportunities and 60 days in advance for modifications to existing plans. The housing agency may convene a preoccupancy conference to review and, if needed, require adjustments to those plans before sales or rental activities begin. Entities are also required to collect demographic and participation data from tenants, waitlist applicants, and program participants, then analyze and report that data to the housing agency on an annual basis.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of housing programs subject to Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-701 generally maintain compliance by submitting initial affirmative fair housing marketing plans and tenant selection plans to the housing agency at least 90 days before implementation, and by submitting any plan modifications for existing properties at least 60 days before those changes take effect. Compliant operators also prepare for and participate in any preoccupancy conference the housing agency schedules, and they come ready to revise plans if the agency identifies gaps. On an ongoing basis, compliant operators collect the data specified under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-37bb from tenants, participants, and waitlist members, and submit annual reports to the housing agency within the timeframes the statute requires.

Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee § 8-37ee-701 establishes that housing entities must have their fair housing marketing and tenant selection plans reviewed and approved by the housing agency before marketing or leasing begins, which means tenants and applicants are entitled to benefit from plans that have gone through this oversight process. The provision also requires entities to collect and annually report data about tenants, participants, and people on waitlists, creating a record that can reflect whether fair housing objectives are being met. Tenants or applicants who believe a housing entity is operating without required plan approvals or failing to collect and report required data may consider contacting the relevant Connecticut housing agency or a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
