The Connecticut Paid Leave program is reminding residents that income replacement benefits are available to workers with a serious health condition or those taking care of a family member with a serious health condition who need to take time off work. A recent DataHaven survey found that 12% of Connecticut adults have struggled to pay for adequate housing in the past year, an increase from 10% two years ago. This data is further evidence of the importance of benefits like these in ensuring financial stability for workers.

Erin Choquette, CEO of the CT Paid Leave Authority, stated that Connecticut has implemented policies that appeal to families and workers from all backgrounds. “Paid leave is an example of the types of policies that make a real difference in people’s lives and make it possible for workers to take time off to care for their – or their family’s – health needs when they need to and still be able to pay for housing, said Choquette.

The DataHaven survey also revealed less economic stability amongst Connecticut residents compared to previous years. The report showed that more than 560,000 households in the region were living beneath the wage threshold necessary to afford essential items. Rashida Rattray-Reid, the education and outreach coordinator for the CT Fair Housing Center, affirmed the importance of programs like CT Paid Leave for people possibly facing eviction or foreclosure because of their inability to work due to illness.
