Progress isn’t inevitable. It’s fought for and earned. New York City will now give community organizations the first shot at buying eligible homes — not flippers who are just looking to extract a profit. 
This is the largest Opportunity to Purchase program in the nation. Thank you @CMSandyNurse for your leadership on the COPA bill. Our city’s tenants are stronger because of it.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani officially signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law today. The bill gives tenants, land trusts, and other vetted community organizations the first right to buy eligible buildings — and thus to decommodify their housing.

COPA has been signed into law! Thank you to @NYCMayor for his support, @CMSandyNurse for her sponsorship, and the @NYCCLI for their years of hard work to get COPA across the finish line. We look forward to seeing the benefits COPA will have for our tenants and our communities.

On Friday, we joined @KAFSCNY annual Silent March Against Domestic Violence. As October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we honor and uplift the voice of survivors, remember those we lost, and call for an end to domestic violence. #BreakTheSilence #EndTheViolence

After years of hard work and advocacy, the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) has passed the City Council! Certain nonprofits and community land trusts will soon have the first opportunity to purchase at-risk apartment buildings when the landlord decides to sell.

This will help preserve and expand affordable housing and increase tenant protections. Thank you to @CMSandyNurse for her sponsorship and the @NYCCLI coalition for their tireless work to get COPA passed. We look forward to seeing COPA signed into law!

We have more opportunities next week to speak with one of our housing attorneys. Check out next week’s schedule.

Our survey found broad backing for COPA across NYC. Intro 905 would give qualified nonprofits a chance to buy buildings when they go up for sale, helping move distressed units away from speculators to preserve affordable housing. The Council must pass it! cssny.org/news/entry/new-yor…
