Dear House and Senate Leaders:
Please act now to pass the Transfer Fee for Affordable Housing (S.868/H.1377) and Right to Counsel in Evictions (S.874/H.1436) These bills are crucial to address the affordable housing gap, stop displacement, and prevent more evictions and homelessness in our communities.
We cannot afford to wait any longer for these proven solutions. Thank you for your leadership!
Best,
Your name
