B 26-0269 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Temporary Amendment Act of 2025

This bill (B 26-0269) amends Washington, D.C.'s Homeless Services Reform Act to temporarily extend participation in the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program (FRSP) beyond its standard 12-month limit. It directly affects homeless individuals enrolled in FRSP who are working toward housing stability but cannot yet sustain it independently. Key provisions require the Department of Human Services to grant extensions (in 6-month increments with 3-month reviews) if participants submit written requests, demonstrate good faith progress toward housing goals, and haven’t secured permanent affordable housing. If denied, participants receive 30 days’ written notice with appeal rights and continued services during appeals. The amendment expires 225 days after its effective date (July 10, 2025).

MODERATE
This bill was reorganized and reformatted from its original introduction version to its engrossed version, which is the final version ready for enactment. The substantive policy content remains the same, establishing new grounds for extending participation in the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program beyond 12 months. The changes primarily involve formatting, line numbering, and structural organization rather than policy modifications.
TECHNICAL

Page numbering and header formatting were updated from the introduction version to the engrossed version, with page numbers shifting from 1-7 to 1-6 and the title page being reorganized.

Bill number formatting changed from 'B 26-0269' to '26-269' and the bill title was updated to include the Council of the District of Columbia header.

The bill's purpose statement was reorganized to appear earlier in the document, moving from a later section to the beginning for clarity.

Section numbering and structure were consolidated, removing duplicate sections and reorganizing the bill into a cleaner format while maintaining all substantive provisions.
