Protect Affordable Housing

Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Council

We need you to take action now. Our affordable housing is at stake, and this is a fight we can’t afford to lose. Airbnb is taking away housing while driving up rent for the rest of us.

Sign this petition to send a message to the Mayor and D.C. Council that your access to affordable housing is not for sale.

Our affordable housing is under attack by big commercial operators who are using Airbnb and other online platforms to convert thousands of residential housing units into short-term tourist rentals.

While these commercial landlords are making millions manipulating the housing market our rent has gone up 30% and thousands of D.C. families are struggling to find a place to live.

We need you to take action now. Our affordable housing is at stake, and this is a fight we can’t afford to lose.

Stand up to protect and fund affordable housing by supporting Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie's bill to strengthen enforcement of illegal tourist rentals.
