Please see this action alert below from the TOPA Coalition. This is a key tool to preserve affordable housing (and why it’s a key Network priority). Please join this push!

The Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act has been voted out of committee favorably! This is a huge step forward and keeps TOPA in play this session. We are not done yet and we’re asking that you help us in the final push to pass TOPA. Contact your Representatives and Senators before July 8th and ask them to tell Legislative Leadership to make TOPA a top priority and to support the Small Properties Acquisition Funding Pilot. 

Take action before July 8th:

1. Sign the petition to pass TOPA, featuring this video: Time4TOPA – YouTube
2. Call your Representative and Senator to support TOPA & Small Properties Acquisition Funding Pilot (click here for a call script)
3. Share this TOPA video on social media (click here for sample tweets and graphics) 
4. Read and share these recent op-eds on TOPA:
   • Working to keep people in their own homes – The Bay State Banner 
   • TOPA Is Good Housing Policy – Banker & Tradesman

Thank you for your dedication to passing TOPA and working towards housing justice in our communities across Massachusetts.
