Earlier this year, Erica published a legal alert outlining the AHRA’s potential to expand homeownership in NYC while preserving affordable housing. The Act introduces strong tenant protections, including rent stabilization, eviction safeguards, and purchase opportunities. It also establishes a framework for eligible projects, nonprofit ownership, and long-term affordability.
