The future of the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, a bedrock component of tenant rights in the District since 1980, is at risk. Today Councilmember Nadeau is introducing common sense reforms to streamline and modernize TOPA.

The Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety heard hours of testimony Monday on how the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement is managing the violence interruption programs under its responsibility, in light of the recent bribery allegations that implicated Life Deeds, one of the contractors. Councilmember Nadeau attended the hearing to ask questions and to emphasize that problems with one contractor should not be seen as an indictment of all violence interruption programs and contractors.

I've been pushing the Office of Unified Communications over the past several months over its systemic and technology-specific issues that are resulting in delayed and incorrect responses to 911 emergencies.
The Department of Behavioral Health and partners recently held a community meeting on the proposed Columbia Heights stabilization center. It was an opportunity to hear from DBH leadership about plans for the center and ask questions.
