Connecticut Talks Housing
Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or you’re still trying to find a home, listen to in-depth analysis about the policies that shape housing in Connecticut, from zoning and land use to renter's rights and homelessness. Whether you live in Fairfield County or the Quiet Corner, the Shoreline or the Litchfield Hills, the city or the suburbs, discover the key factors shaping housing–and therefore everything else–in your community.
Through small group conversations and one-on-one interviews, officials, experts, and residents fact-check common claims about housing and go beyond the headlines to help you understand what’s really going on with housing in Connecticut. This podcast is produced by the Housing Collective, a non-profit based in Bridgeport, CT that solves homelessness and supports affordable housing development.
Connecticut Talks Housing is hosted by Evonne Klein, a resident of Darien, CT who served as the first Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Housing, and as Darien First Selectwoman. Through these experiences, Evonne brings a both a hyper-local and statewide perspective to housing. From 2020 to 2025, with the Housing Collective's Fairfield County Center for Housing Opportunity, Evonne launched and hosted "Fairfield County Talks Housing," a series of resident-led, fact-based conversations.
Episodes air monthly from approximately October through June each year to coincide with Connecticut's legislative session. Connecticut Talks Housing occasionally takes place in-person in front of a live audience.
