That is why Rep. Adriano Espaillat plans to introduce the "Stop Gentrification in Low-Income Neighborhoods Act," which would, if enacted, offer the right of first refusal to low-income tenants, require landlords to produce a community impact study on development effects to low-income renters and nearby small businesses, and would offer relocation assistance.
Introduce the Stop Gentrification in Low-Income Neighborhoods Act to give low-income tenants a right of first refusal, require community impact studies for development, and provide relocation assistance.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official House issue page says Rep. Adriano Espaillat "plans to introduce" the "Stop Gentrification in Low-Income Neighborhoods Act," which would offer a right of first refusal, require community impact studies, and provide relocation assistance.
Assessments
The promise was to introduce a specific federal bill, the Stop Gentrification in Low-Income Neighborhoods Act, with tenant right-of-first-refusal, community impact study, and relocation-assistance provisions. Available evidence still describes the bill as something Rep. Espaillat "plans to introduce," and a search did not find an introduced bill by that title. Because the promised introduction itself has not been shown to have occurred, the promise is not fulfilled. There is no evidence here of a serious legislative or executive attempt on this specific promised Act, so the effort badge is not warranted.
