Local Rent Supplement Program Contract No. 2026-LRSP-01A Approval Resolution of 2026

This bill approves a 20-year long-term subsidy contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority and 2229 M Street NE Owner LLC to support 24 affordable housing units at 2229 M Street NE. The agreement provides an annual operating subsidy of up to $615,228 to help cover housing costs for extremely low-income residents, specifically those earning 30% or less of the area's median income. The resolution authorizes the District to fund these units under the Local Rent Supplement Program, which was established to provide affordable housing and supportive services to vulnerable populations including homeless individuals and those with disabilities.

MINOR

The document was converted from a draft letter and proposed resolution into an official enrolled legislative resolution. The substantive policy content, including the $615,228 annual subsidy amount, the 20-year contract term, and the 24 affordable housing units, remains unchanged. The primary differences are the removal of the introductory letter and the addition of formal resolution headers, numbering, and the 'Enrolled Original' status.

TECHNICAL

Removed the cover letter addressed to Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, including the sender's contact information and enclosures list.

Added official enrolled resolution formatting, including the bill number (26-371), date (March 31, 2026), and the 'Enrolled Original' designation.

Reorganized the text to remove the explanatory background sections (Sections 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and consolidated the legal basis and approval language into a single operative section (Sec. 2).
