It's time to pass a t.o.P. law to preserve multifamily apartments as Permantly affordable!

The need for increased permanently affordable housing is growing.  We need to aggressively pursue all forms of it, and it is time to pass a TOP law at the state level that allows tenants and affordable housing organizations a fair opportunity to purchase apartment buildings as permanently affordable housing stock.  Washington DC has a model law, that has been doing such work for over 40 years.  Read more about DC's TOPA program HERE.
