"TOPA provides D.C. tenants the right to buy their buildings when they go up for sale and can be an incomparable resource for preventing displacement. But for TOPA to reach this potential, capital isn’t the problem—it’s the solution. . ." @LISC_HQ @LISC_DC bit.ly/3W1fXbf

TOPA in D.C. isn't just about rights—it's about access to capital. Learn how CDFIs like @LISC_HQ are providing crucial, affordable financing to help tenants purchase their buildings and prevent displacement. bit.ly/3W1fXbf

The Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) catalyzes inclusive affordable housing in DC, and access to capital is crucial to its success. That's why CDFIs like @LISC_DC, which has 42 years of success as a #TOPA lender, help deliver patient financing to tenant purchasers. [1/2]

From falling ceilings and mold to new countertops: Victoria, president of the Buena Vista Co-op, showed us the new kitchens that organizing brought them. Proof that TOPA works!

"A safe, decent, and affordable home is key to individual health and well-being. Homelessness occurs because housing options are out of reach for the unhoused, and the severe and growing shortage of affordable housing is only exacerbating this situation." lisc.org/our-stories/st…
Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC)@LISC_HQ

The Supreme Court ruling allowing jurisdictions to arrest unhoused people for sleeping outside is unjust and misguided. This will only worsen homelessness. We need additional resources for affordable housing and services, NOT criminalization of our most vulnerable people.

LGBTQIA+ spaces serve as essential movement infrastructure & hubs for community resources and organizing. As Pride month draws to a close, we reflect on the intersections between LGBTQIA+ liberation, community power & community ownership. lisc.org/our-stories/st…

Tenant Right to Purchase Act (#TOPA) coupled with #commdev investment is creating security and opportunity for communities threatened by gentrification in DC and across the country. Here are free resources on TOPA and much more: lisc.org/our-resources/…

“In DC, #TOPA has preserved over 16,000 affordable units.” — Julia Duranti-Martinez of @LISC_HQ shares the findings of LISC’s recent report. TOPA would be an important tool to preserve affordable housing for New Yorkers concerned about housing costs.

"LISC DC’s experience reinforces that COPA and TOPA policies are most impactful when paired with resources for tenant organizing and legal assistance, grants and affordable financing to help tenants acquire and rehab their properties in ways that keep them affordable."
