We want to preserve affordable housing in our wonderful but increasingly unaffordable neighborhood – and make it possible for regular people to be able to purchase a home here for decades to come.
The Tenant Association at 1845 Summit Pl NW is exercising our rights from the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA), a unique DC law that gives us the chance to buy our 88-unit building. Together, we decided to turn our building into an innovative model of affordable housing: a limited-equity co-op. This keeps units affordable forever, a critical intervention in our diverse and increasingly unaffordable neighborhood.
