The Household Survival Budget is a barebones calculation of what it cost to get by in Connecticut. It includes the minimum cost option for the basic necessities: housing, child care, food, health care, and transportation. The Household Stability
Budget is greater than the survival budget as it reflects the cost for household necessities at a modest but sustainable level and accounts for savings.
