This presentation will review our concerns with and possibly response to policy riders attached to the housing bond bill, focusing on eviction sealing and the tenant opportunity to purchase act. We will cover:
- What is a housing bond bill?
- What is the main point of the bill?
- We stopped eviction sealing in the house! What is happening in the senate or conference committee?
- TOPA blindsided us. Who advocated for it and what will happen?
Attendees will leave knowing the changes threatened to the policy landscape and what we can do to stop it.
Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
