Supreme Court of Connecticut
Rainbow Housing Corp. v. Cromwell
September 1, 2021340 Conn. 501
Summary
The court affirmed summary judgment recognizing a charitable property-tax exemption for a supervised apartment program serving adults with severe mental illness. It held that the municipality could not dispute aggrievement after stipulating that the exemption application was complete, and that the residents’ stays were temporary because they were impermanent, transitional, and tied to treatment progress rather than a fixed period. The court did not decide whether the program was government-subsidized housing because the temporary-housing exception independently applied.
