This bill extends the timeline for So Others Might Eat (SOME) to certify its 23-unit affordable housing property at 2607 Connecticut Avenue NW as tax-exempt under the Nonprofit Workforce Housing Properties Real Property Tax Exemption Act of 2019.

The legislation directly affects the specific housing building owned by 2607 Connecticut LLC, which serves low-income tenants and has experienced slower lease-up than anticipated.

The legislation ensures that the District has no financial liability for these bonds, meaning the school itself is responsible for repaying the debt.
