Existing housing relief efforts have failed, placing burdens on struggling tenants and owners.

It highlights the shortfalls of the approach and recommends next steps such as passing good cause eviction protections and averting predatory investors from taking advantage of distressed assets creating Tenant Opportunity to Purchase.
