    Report on elderly/disabled housing to be released at forums

    HARTFORD (AP) — A new report that examines challenges in state-funded "mixed population" housing in Connecticut is set to be released.

    The Connecticut Department of Housing and the Connecticut Fair Housing Center will unveil the study at a series of upcoming public forums. The report stems from legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2017 requiring a study of state-funded complexes that house tenants who are elderly and young and disabled.

    While there's a perception that younger tenants with disabilities are causing problems at these complexes, the report is expected to reveal most issues have more to do with a lack of mental health care and other support services for both populations.

    The forums are planned for Tuesday in East Haven, Thursday in Hartford and Friday in Darien. More information is available online.

    Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
