Why is AMI ( Area Median Income) important?
It helps determine income limits for affordable housing programs, ensuring that homes are accessible to those who need them the most.

.@BernieSanders says #LiftTheBanMA because $3k/month 1-beds & rent increases of hundreds of dollars per month are completely ridiculous

You would have to cancel Netflix for 2,300 years to save enough to pay for the average home price in the US.
Baby boomers have some advice for millennials struggling to buy a home: cancel the Netflix subscription and stop ordering takeaways

Tenant Opportunity to Purchase (TOPA) is 1 critical step to prevent displacement, address the housing crisis, stabilize working class neighborhoods, undo racist inequities. Who's in?

S/o to @senjehlen @jaylivingstone @RobConsalvo for being lead sponsors of TOPA-- TOPA will protect tenant’s rights and to stabilize our communities -- we need to pass, in addition to rent stabilization, revenue for afford housing & the whole toolbox #Time4TOPA #mapoli

To make housing more affordable in MA, we need to utilize MANY tools -- one important tool is TOPA, or the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act! We need this legislation passed!! Learn more at topa4ma.org #Time4TOPA #mapoli

TOPA works! Here's a success story from DC's First Right to Purchase - after facing poor living conditions, tenants organized and later purchased their building of 84 units. Now they have safe, affordable, stable homes and even added a childcare center! #time4topa in MA!

Why does CDI care about TOPA? Many manufactured housing or mobile home tenants in New England already have #Right2Purchase laws & can buy their communities & become Resident Owned Communities. We've seen how game changing this is for manufactured housing. #Time4TOPA for all!

State Senators and Representatives: Pass TOPA now! We cannot wait - families are being forced out of their communities and homes. #Time4TOPA #mapoli @SenJohnFKeenan @RepArciero

To address the affordable housing crisis, we need both production AND preservation. An anti-displacement and tenant empowered approach will help to stabilize low-income households. #Time4TOPA #Right2Purchase #mapoli
