This resolution declares an emergency to extend the Tenant Payment Plan Phasing Continuation Temporary Act of 2024 (D.C. Law 25-211), which expires May 1, 2025. It ensures landlords must continue maintaining records of tenant payment plans for eligible renters affected by pandemic-related hardship through July 2025, preventing a legal gap before the existing 3-year record-keeping period ends. The resolution directly affects landlords (requiring continued record-keeping) and tenants (preserving access to existing payment plan frameworks). It does not create new rules but extends current emergency protections to avoid disruption.
This resolution extends foreclosure protections for District of Columbia homeowners who applied for the DC Homeowner Assistance Fund (DC HAF) before September 30, 2022 and have pending applications. It prevents a lapse in these protections by requiring continued moratorium on foreclosures until their cases are resolved, pending approval, payment, or appeal. The resolution also mandates that foreclosure notices must include information about the DC HAF program, ensuring affected homeowners are informed of available assistance. It addresses delays reported by legal services providers as the current moratorium expires May 1, 2025. (PR 26-0152)
This bill creates a new process for property owners to change tax classification when converting commercial buildings to residential use. Owners must apply with documentation before the tax change takes effect, and tax benefits apply based on when the application is submitted (full year for Oct-Mar applications, second half for Apr-Sep). If the property isn't actually used residentially within 3 years (or by certificate of occupancy date), the tax authority can claw back benefits with penalties. The bill also adds an appeal process for denied applications and clarifies tax rules for mixed-use properties.
This emergency bill approves a 20-year contract between the District of Columbia's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and Jubilee Housing, Inc. to subsidize rents and provide services for 18 permanently affordable re-entry housing units at 1721-1725 Kalorama Road NW in Ward 1. The contract, totaling up to $33.68 million over 20 years, is fast-tracked as an emergency measure to bypass standard procurement rules.

This resolution extends the deadline for the Mayor to sell the District-owned property at 261 17th Street, SE (the former Eastern Branch Boys and Girls Club) from December 5, 2024, to December 5, 2026. The extension is required to allow the developer, Morningstar Community Development, to secure final approvals for a zoning map amendment and additional zoning relief needed to proceed with redevelopment. The project plans to transform the site into 35 residential units (including 11 affordable units) and 2,500 square feet of community space. It directly affects the District government's property disposition timeline and the developer's project schedule.
This resolution approves a 20-year long-term subsidy contract (Contract No. 2025-LRSP-01A) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and 2151 California Associates LLC. It authorizes an annual subsidy of $125,400 to support three affordable housing units at The Bobbi Apartments (2151 California Street, NW) for extremely low-income residents earning 30% or less of the area median income. The contract operates under the existing Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP), which provides housing subsidies for extremely low-income households, including the chronically homeless and individuals with disabilities. This resolution does not create new policy but formally approves a specific housing subsidy agreement.
This resolution declares an emergency to adjust property tax classification rules for commercial-to-residential conversions in Washington, D.C. It allows developers to change a property's tax classification from commercial (Class 2) to residential (Class 1A) after obtaining a building permit for residential conversion, rather than waiting until construction is 100% complete and the building is in use. This directly affects developers converting commercial properties (like office buildings) to residential use, reversing a recent policy that required full completion before tax rate changes. The change aims to support the Housing in Downtown Program by reducing tax burdens during conversion projects, which can take years to complete.
