The Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) still has a chance of passing before the end of this legislative session on Dec. 31. This bill would give tenants the opportunity to collectively purchase their buildings when up for sale, offering a critical tool in the preservation of affordable housing.
Quick and Easy Action: send a one-click letter here to urge your state legislators to include the strongest possible version of TOPA in the final Economic Development bill.
The good news is that both the House and the Senate included a version of TOPA in their Economic Development bills, one of the only amendments that was adopted in both Chambers, underscoring support for this policy.
However, there are many competing priorities left to negotiate before the end of this session and we cannot assume the final bill will include TOPA.
So this is our chance to weigh in: go here to get your voice counted!
