This bill approves the transfer of a long-term rental subsidy contract for 14 affordable housing units at the Mozart Apartments (1630 Fuller Street, NW) from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership to its affiliate Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP, extending the contract by 20 years until 2046. The contract subsidizes rents for extremely low-income residents (earning 0-30% of area median income), including the chronically homeless, elderly, and people with disabilities, as part of the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The extension allows Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for a moderate rehabilitation of the building while maintaining affordability for current residents. The transfer is permitted under District law without new competitive bidding because Jubilee ADMO is an affiliate of the current owner.
This bill would extend a 20-year housing subsidy contract for 35 affordable units at Euclid Apartments (1740 Euclid Street, NW) through 2046. It transfers the existing contract from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership II to its affiliate Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP. The extension enables Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for rehabilitation work on the building. This change ensures continued funding under D.C.'s Local Rent Supplement Program for extremely low-income residents living in these units.
This bill approves an extension and transfer of a long-term housing subsidy contract for 7 affordable units at the Fuller Apartments (1650 Fuller Street, NW). It assigns the existing contract from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership to its affiliate, Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP, and extends the contract term by 20 years (through 2046). This allows Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for moderate rehabilitation of the building while continuing to provide affordable housing for extremely low-income residents, including the chronically homeless, elderly, and people with disabilities, under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The change directly affects the 7 subsidized units at Fuller Apartments and ensures ongoing funding for these housing costs.
This resolution approves a 20-year contract (2025-LRSP-04A) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and PBS Property Holdings, LLC to provide annual subsidies of $255,522 for eight affordable housing units at Kennedy Gardens Apartments (145 Kennedy Avenue, NW). The subsidy supports extremely low-income households (earning 30% or less of the area median income) by covering rental costs for these units under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The resolution authorizes the housing subsidy agreement but does not create new policy or alter existing law.
This bill clarifies that rental units participating in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program are exempt from the District of Columbia's Rent Stabilization Program. It amends the Rental Housing Act to explicitly include LIHTC units in the exemption, removing ambiguity about their status. This directly affects landlords who receive LIHTC tax credits, ensuring these units are not subject to rent stabilization rules. The change is retroactive to the existing law but takes effect immediately as an emergency measure, remaining valid for 90 days.
This resolution clarifies that Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) rental units in DC are exempt from the District’s Rent Stabilization Program, directly affecting 99 buildings housing over 11,000 units. It responds to a court decision that removed this exemption, which could force these properties to comply with DC’s rent rules instead of federal HUD limits (capping annual rent increases at 5% or 10% max). The bill explicitly amends the Rental Housing Act to maintain the existing rent structure agreed upon at lease signing, preserving affordability without raising rents. This prevents potential financial defaults on LIHTC properties and supports ongoing affordable housing preservation.
This bill creates several programs to address vacant and blighted properties in Washington, D.C. It requires the Department of Aging and Community Living to develop a "tangled title" information sheet for heirs inheriting property, which funeral homes must provide to survivors within five days of a death. The bill also establishes tax credits and abatements for renovating Class 3 and 4 properties (typically residential or commercial buildings), creates a single-family home rehabilitation program, and allows payment plans for delinquent real property taxes. These provisions directly affect property owners, heirs, and funeral service providers by streamlining property transfers, reducing blight, and incentivizing rehabilitation of underused buildings.
This bill temporarily amends District laws to clarify DC Water's billing and disconnection procedures for customers. It requires DC Water to provide multilingual services (adding it to the Language Access Act), caps late payment penalties at 10% after 30 days and 1% monthly after 60 days, and mandates monthly reports to the Council and tenant advocates on disconnection notices, actual disconnections, and service restorations. It also updates notice rules to require 30-day written warnings in English, Spanish, or other languages spoken by occupants before disconnection. The bill directly affects DC Water customers (residents and property owners) and requires DC Water to submit detailed monthly data on service disruptions.
This resolution designates the public alley system within square 1084 in Washington, D.C., as "Elmore-Friendship Court." It directly affects property owners with lots fronting this alley, enabling them to secure District agency approvals for redeveloping carriage houses into residential units before permanent legislation completes congressional review. The resolution declares an emergency to allow immediate adoption after a single reading, bypassing the usual 30-day congressional review period for the underlying designation bill (Bill 26-220). This is a procedural name change resolution, not a substantive policy.
This resolution declares an emergency to amend the District of Columbia Housing Authority Act of 1999 and related laws. It revises the DCHA board structure, updates the public housing resident bill of rights, adjusts board stipends under the Merit Personnel Act, and updates terminology in the Confirmation Act. These changes ensure DCHA can prepare for a permanent board structure before the summer recess, following delays in finalizing the RENTAL Act of 2025.
