This bill requires large residential and mixed-use construction projects (50,000+ square feet) receiving Housing Production Trust Fund assistance to meet net zero energy standards under the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria (specifically elements 5.4 or 5.5b). It mandates the Department to submit biannual reports starting March 2026 detailing progress on developing net zero energy building code regulations and challenges to implementation. The bill also removes conflicting net zero energy compliance requirements from the Green Building Act of 2006 that previously applied to residential/mixed-use projects. It expires after 90 days or upon final regulations from the Clean Energy DC Building Code Amendment Act.

(Lot 123, Square 2836), owned by Avanti Real Estate Services, LLC. The tax relief is conditional on the property being actively used for real estate services focused on creating generational wealth through homeownership, employing District residents, and providing industry training. The bill also cancels any pending tax sales for the forgiven debt and expires after 90 days.
This resolution amends housing and building codes to adjust net zero energy standards for large residential and mixed-use projects receiving funding from the District's Housing Production Trust Fund.

The resolution also streamlines processes for the DC Housing Authority (DCHA) to implement energy improvements without extending project timelines. It takes immediate effect as an emergency measure.
This bill approves a 20-year extension and transfer of a long-term housing subsidy contract for the Sorrento Apartments (2233 18th Street NW) in Washington, D.C. It assigns the existing contract from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership II to its affiliate, Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP, to enable rehabilitation financing for 17 affordable units. The contract extension (to February 2046) ensures continued funding for extremely low-income households (earning 0-30% of area median income), including homeless individuals and those with disabilities, under the District’s Local Rent Supplement Program. This administrative change directly affects the affordable housing residents at Sorrento Apartments without altering subsidy rates or tenant eligibility.

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.

The extension ensures continued funding for 9 affordable units serving extremely low-income residents (earning 0-30% of area median income), including chronically homeless individuals and people with disabilities, through 2046. This change maintains existing housing support without requiring a new competitive bidding process.
