Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Long Term Subsidy Contract for the Ritz Apartments by and among the District of Columbia Housing Authority, Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership and Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP Approval Resolution of 2025

This bill approves the transfer of a long-term housing subsidy contract for 18 affordable units at the Ritz Apartments (1631 Euclid Street, NW) from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership to its affiliate, Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP. It extends the contract term by 20 years (to February 2046) to enable Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for moderate building rehabilitation. The contract directly affects 18 extremely low-income residents (earning 0-30% of area median income) who rely on the District’s Local Rent Supplement Program for subsidized housing. The Council’s approval is required to legally assign the existing contract and extend its term without reissuing a competitive request for proposals.

MODERATE

The document was converted from a cover letter and draft resolution into an enrolled, official legislative resolution. The substantive policy content regarding the assignment, assumption, and extension of the Long-Term Subsidy Contract for the Ritz Apartments remains consistent, though the enrolled version clarifies the number of affordable units (25) and includes standard procedural sections for transmission and fiscal impact.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains unchanged in terms of policy; it still authorizes the assignment of the subsidy contract from Jubilee Housing to Jubilee ADMO and extends the contract for 20 years. The enrolled version adds clarity on the number of units (25) and includes required procedural sections.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a cover letter and draft resolution to an enrolled original resolution, which is the final official version adopted by the Council.

The address for the Ritz Apartments was updated from 1613 Euclid Street, NW to 1631 Euclid Street, NW in the enrolled version.

The cover letter and explanatory context from the original draft were removed in the enrolled version, which focuses solely on the resolution text.

DEFINITION

The number of affordable housing units was clarified from 18 units in the draft to 25 units in the enrolled resolution.

REQUIREMENT

Standard procedural sections were added, including transmission of the resolution to the Housing Authority and Mayor, and adoption of the fiscal impact statement.
