Stamford-based non-profit Pacific House is expected to receive nearly $2.5 million in state funding to build affordable housing units in the city.

Pacific House currently provides emergency shelter for people experiencing housing insecurity.

Pacific House says it plans to construct 39 new affordable and supportive housing units in a four-story building on Stillwater Avenue.

The complex will include a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units to serve individuals and families.

The ground floor will include offices for Pacific House's headquarters, where the non-profit plans to provide case management services.

Gov. Ned Lamont says the funding is expected to be released under the state's recently launched Community Investment Fund 2030 program.

Lamont says authorization for the funding to be released will be on the agenda for the State Bond Commission's next meeting.
