Multiyear Contract Number 2025-LRSP-04A with Harvard Court Owner, LLC Approval Resolution of 2025

This resolution approves a 20-year, $707,035 annual subsidy contract under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) to support 22 affordable housing units at Harvard Court Apartments (1425 Harvard Court, NW). The subsidy will enable Harvard Court Owner, LLC to provide housing at reduced rents for extremely low-income households earning 30% or less of the area median income, including vulnerable populations like the chronically homeless, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities. This contract directly affects the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), which administers the LRSP, and Harvard Court Owner, LLC, as it authorizes long-term funding for these specific units.

Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill text was reformatted and reorganized during the legislative process, with the letter of transmittal removed and the resolution text standardized. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, including the funding amount, contract term, and eligibility criteria for the affordable housing units.
TECHNICAL

The letter of transmittal from the Housing Authority Executive Director to the Council Chairman was removed as it is not part of the final legislative text.

The resolution text was reorganized with updated formatting, including a new date (May 6, 2025) and adjusted section numbering and layout.

Minor wording adjustments were made throughout the resolution text, such as changing 'Street' to 'Street' in the address and standardizing citation formats, but these do not affect policy substance.
