•​ Expand Community Land Trusts: Create long-term affordable housing by keeping land out of the speculative market. Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are a proven solution to stabilize housing costs, offering security for families and individuals. Expanding CLTs will ensure that more residents have access to affordable homes they can depend on for generations.

​•​ Empower Tenants: Give renters the opportunity to buy their buildings when they go up for sale, turning them into cooperatives and preventing displacement. This program puts power into the hands of residents, allowing them to have a say in their housing future. By fostering tenant ownership, we can create stronger, more stable communities.

​•​ Activate Vacant Properties: Incentivize developers to turn empty properties into affordable housing, ensuring no space is wasted while families need homes. This policy would bring vacant buildings back to life, reducing blight and addressing the city’s housing crisis. It’s a win-win for residents and neighborhoods alike.
