American Elm at Stuart Farm, which is on Connecticut’s list of notable trees, cared for by Kent Affordable Housing.

MISSION 

The mission of Kent Affordable Housing is to develop, sustain, and advocate for affordable housing in the town of Kent, Connecticut.

Kent Affordable Housing believes that:

  • A mix of people from different economic circumstances has been Kent’s history and should be Kent’s future.

  • Affordable housing provides both economic and social benefits to the town.

  • Soaring rents and home prices have forced people with modest financial resources to leave the town and the state, especially young families who contribute to essential community services.

  • Local residents and workers and their families will be the primary beneficiaries of new affordable housing in Kent, including housing developed with the help of state or federal money.

  • Participation by all parts of the Kent community is essential to the growth of affordable housing in Kent.

VISION 

Kent - A diverse community with quality housing for people of all means.
