Social Justice Meets Housing

Measuring success by the affordable housing our clients preserve and protect.

Ownership matters. Most real estate is organized to extract wealth from tenants. We at IMPACT are dedicated agents of change, with decades of experience in tenant rights law and progressive real estate transactions, working to preserve affordable housing and prevent displacement.

Most our transactions involve the conversion of private apartment buildings to permanent affordable housing.  The buyers are 
community development organizations, community land trusts, or tenants organized to buy their apartment buildings. Sellers receive full fair market value for the buildings and other benefits.

We are agents, brokers and attorneys, preservation experts. We've closed 40+ transactions under the S.F. Small Sites Program (SSP), and we helped write the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA).

Tenants in Foreclosed Buildings - Important new rights we proposed in a new state law provide tenants and certain non-profits a right to purchased at the Trustee Sale (auction) price! This opportunity lasts only 45 days, so contact us immediately. 

Apartment Owners - sell your building for top dollar to a COPA qualified nonprofit, and take advantage of the partial transfer tax exemption and other benefits available under the S.F. Community Opportunity to Purchase Act.
Find out if your building qualifies.
"Owning my apartment makes me feel like I belong here,
​ and it's my home now.“  — Marcello D.
