Kimberly Place In Danbury Among 15 Housing Developments Receiving State Financing Across Connecticut

DANBURY, CT — A senior housing community on Main Street in Danbury is among 15 housing developments across Connecticut receiving state financing that will help create or preserve more than 1,100 housing units, officials announced last week.

The Connecticut Department of Housing and the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority said the agreements include funding for projects in 13 towns and cities, including Bridgeport, Colchester, Danbury, Enfield, Meriden, Naugatuck, New Haven, Norwalk, Southington, Stamford, Uncasville, West Hartford and Windsor.

In total, the financing will support 1,105 units, including 816 affordable apartments for low- and moderate-income residents. Sixty-three of those will be designated as permanent supportive housing.

The DOH is providing more than $71 million in loans and grants, while CHFA will offer low-income housing tax credits expected to generate $123 million in private investment, along with $26.2 million in financing. Another $7.1 million will support 178 units under the Build For CT program, designed to expand housing for middle-income renters.

“These developments reflect the full spectrum of housing need in Connecticut—from middle-income and senior housing to supportive and deeply affordable homes,” said CHFA CEO and Executive Director Nandini Natarajan. “Each one demonstrates the power of creativity, flexibility, and partnership in responding to the housing challenges facing our communities.”

Danbury Project to Modernize Senior Housing

In Danbury, the Kimberly Place Apartments at 19 Main St.—a 10-story building constructed in 1981—will undergo renovations to modernize systems and preserve long-term affordability for seniors.

The property’s 116 apartments, all reserved for residents age 62 and older, are supported by project-based Section 8 assistance. The upgrades are financed through CHFA-issued 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits expected to bring $15.8 million in private investment.

Commissioner of Housing Seila Mosquera-Bruno said the projects statewide mark a major step toward expanding access to quality, affordable housing.

“We know our residents need and deserve high-quality housing they can afford as soon as possible,” Mosquera-Bruno said. “We’ll continue to accelerate development of all types of homes—from supportive to senior to entry-level—and help create sustainable, multi-generational communities throughout Connecticut’s cities and towns.”

Other developments receiving funding include:

• 810 Boston Ave., Bridgeport: $3.4 million for acquisition and rehab of 24 apartments, 23 of which are deeply affordable.
• Park City Place, Bridgeport: $22 million to preserve 97 affordable units converted from a former Holiday Inn.
• Parcel B Phase I, Naugatuck: $6.6 million from DOH and $12.2 million in private investment to create new apartments near the train station.
