SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds that— 
(1) there is a great need to provide commu-
nities with tools to preserve affordable housing; 
(2) a significant amount of the affordable hous-
ing inventory in the United States has already been 
lost and a large portion is at risk of being removed; 
(3) approximately 200,000 subsidized rental 
units are lost annually; 
(4) in the case of disposition of properties 
owned or held by the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, the statutory right of first re-
fusal afforded to units of local government has been 
effective in preserving such buildings for use as af-
fordable housing; 
(5) failing to take into account the physical 
condition of a property when determining the sale 
price in a HUD property sale inhibits local preserva-
tion efforts; and 
(6) the Department of Housing and Urban De-
velopment should use standard industry appraisal 
practices when determining the sale price of prop-
erties.
